A GROWING CYBERSECURITY BLIND SPOT

Non-Human Identities (NHIs)

With an increasing reliance on bots, service accounts, and machine identities, modern IT operations are now uncovering the associated hidden risks. Without robust strategy, the tools and policies in place to manage permissions and monitoring for the NHIs become more of a hinderance than a help.

HOW INTRAGEN HELPS

Discovery and Inventory

Non-Human Identities often continue unnoticed across your IT estate, from cloud-native workloads to legacy systems. Intragen helps organisations to form an inventory of NHIs by detecting these machine identities automatically.

 

The automatic visibility this provides means that you will be capable of uncovering shadow accounts, therefore reducing the attack surface and preparing you for effective governance.

Ready to take control of your Non-Human Identities? 

Unmanaged service accounts and automation identities are a growing blind spot in enterprise security. Book a consultation with Intragen's experts to assess your exposure, prioritise risks, and define a governance strategy tailored to your environment.

HOW INTRAGEN HELPS

Classification and Ownership

When your NHIs have been identified, the next step is to contextualise them. Intragen helps you to categorise them by function, e.g. automation, and link them to owners, systems or services.

 

This process provides clarity and ensures accountability for the NHIs. You will see a reduction in privilege creep and benefit from appropriate lifecycle policies.

Access Policy Enforcement

The privileges given to NHIs are often unnecessary and broad, not in keeping with least privilege practices.

 

Intragen helps to define and enforce access policies tailored for non-human users. With policy-based provisioning and regular reviews in place, you can prevent privilege escalation and limit lateral movement.

Identity access

Non-Human Identity - Not New

Non-Human Identities have long been essential to IT operations, even if their risks were previously underestimated. As automation grows, managing these identities is becoming increasingly critical to maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. But what do we do to securely manage them?

HOW INTRAGEN HELPS

Ongoing Lifecycle Management

Non-Human Identities do not receive structured onboarding or decommissioning in the same way that human employees do. We can help you to introduce automated lifecycle workflows, including creation, rotation, expiration, and removal of non-human accounts.

 

By doing so, you reduce your operational risk and improve compliance posture by ensuring Non-Human Identities are managed properly.

Compliance and Audit Readiness

Non-Human Identities are being scrutinised by auditors now more than ever. It's important to be able to demonstrate governance maturity. We can help you to develop detailed audit trails, policy compliance metrics and centralised reporting.

 

Whether aligning to ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR or internal security frameworks, organisations can gain the ability to prove control every digital identity.
