Abstract

Machine identity security is rapidly becoming one of the most critical aspects of modern cybersecurity strategies. While CISOs and IT leaders recognize its importance, many are still struggling to build a cohesive approach to protect these digital credentials. Machine identities now outnumber human identities by an overwhelming margin, driven by cloud-native technologies, AI, and shrinking credential lifespans. As cybercriminals increasingly target these identities as entry points for lateral movement and data theft, organizations must address the growing complexity and scale of managing non-human identities.
