Organizations struggle with securing nonhuman identities such as service accounts, API keys, and connection strings. These identities are often created by developers and DevOps teams without sufficient security oversight, leading to excessive permissions and a lack of visibility, said Itzik Alvas, co-founder and CEO of Entro Security.
Secret-based breaches are among the top attack vectors, and nonhuman identity secrets effectively act as credentials for applications. If one is exposed, the impact can be severe. Alvas emphasizes the need for a comprehensive process to discover all nonhuman identities, build an inventory, and continuously monitor for abnormal behavior.
Entro helps organizations vault, rotate, and decommission identities that are no longer in use while providing the oversight and governance needed for long-term control.
