NHI Governance and Administration
Identity Governance and Administration (commonly referred to as IGA) is the practice of establishing policies and procedures to provide users with identity-based access to resources. Traditional IGA methodologies are focused on human users and are not capable of providing any security, visibility, or policy enforcement on traffic generated by non-human identities.
As the only Non-Human Identity (NHI) and Secrets management platform capable of identifying and securing NHIs and Secrets anywhere they may reside, Entro is the one-stop platform for IGA across NHIs and Secrets. The following are typical IGA use cases Entro extends to NHI and Secrets security, allowing you to fully secure identities in your enterprise.
Identity Lifecycle Management
Provisioning and Deprovisioning: Automate the onboarding, offboarding, and internal status changes of NHIs to ensure access is updated or revoked as needed.
Principle-of-least-privilege Permissioning: Ensure onboarded NHIs have the minimum appropriate permissions necessary to perform their function.
Automated Workflow Management: Enable workflows that automate approval processes, reducing manual intervention for access requests and changes.
Access Management
Access Requests and Self-Service: Automate workflows for your developers to create Secrets and NHIs while streamlining approvals and internal processes
NHI Rotation: Enforce additional rotation policies to minimize the time of exposure given to any NHI or secret with access to critical systems and assets
Analytics and Intelligence
Usage Monitoring: Track NHI interactions to understand with historical context what an NHI has access to when it was used, where and how it was used, and more to identify unusual patterns indicative of compromised accounts or misuse.
Secrets Scanning and Auditing: Conduct periodic reviews and certifications of NHI and secrets access to ensure that NHIs and Secrets are being deployed and used correctly
Policy and Compliance Management
Policy Enforcement: Entro allows you to establish and enforce policies that govern NHI permissions, restricting NHIs to only previously utilized permissions with a single click, instantly eliminating exposure
Compliance Reporting and Auditing: Entro’s automated reports ensure you meet regulatory standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOX) and are audit-ready.
Segregation of Duties (SoD): Prevent unnecessary permissions exposure by ensuring no single NHI is utilized by multiple unique services with different permissive scopes.
Governance Dashboards: Entro’s dashboards track identity and access management activities, risk levels, and compliance statuses in real-time.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Privileged Account Monitoring: Secure and monitor the use of privileged accounts with admin/superuser permissive scopes.
Just-in-Time Access: Grant temporary access to sensitive systems for specific tasks, reducing the time frame that accounts have elevated privileges.
Session Recording and Logging: Entro can create an audit trail of any NHI for security and compliance purposes.
Integrate at Scale
Scalable Architecture: Entro scales with your organization’s growth and changes in users, devices, and resources.
API Support: Ensure the system can integrate with other enterprise tools through APIs for enhanced functionality and automation.
By implementing these key components, you’ll be able to effectively govern identities, control access, and maintain compliance, ensuring that your enterprise is secure and adaptable to changing regulations and threats.
