All news with #non human identity tag

🔐 Rubrik Zero Labs warns that the rise of agentic AI has created a widening gap between an expanding identity attack surface and organizations’ ability to recover from compromises. Their report, Identity Crisis: Understanding & Building Resilience Against Identity-Driven Threats, finds 89% of organizations have integrated AI agents and estimates NHIs outnumber humans roughly 82:1. The authors call for comprehensive identity resilience—beyond traditional IAM—emphasizing zero trust, least privilege, and lifecycle control for non-human identities.

🔒 This roundup profiles ten cybersecurity startups founded in 2020 or later that CISOs should watch, chosen for funding, leadership, customer traction, and strategic clarity. It highlights diverse categories including non-human identity, software supply chain, data security posture, and AI agent security. Notable vendors such as Astrix, Chainguard, Cyera, and Drata have raised substantial capital and achieved rapid enterprise adoption. The list underscores investor enthusiasm and the rise of runtime‑focused and agentic defenses.

🔐 Enterprises are struggling to secure thousands of non-human identities—service accounts, API tokens, and increasingly autonomous AI agents—that proliferate across cloud and CI/CD environments without clear ownership. These NHIs often use long-lived credentials, lack contextual signals for adaptive controls, and become over-permissioned or orphaned, creating major lateral-movement and compliance risks. The article recommends an identity security fabric—including discovery, risk-based privilege management, automated lifecycle policies, and integrations such as Okta with AWS—to regain visibility and enforce least-privilege at scale.

🔒 Astrix introduces the industry's first Agent Control Plane (ACP) to enable secure-by-design deployment of autonomous AI agents across the enterprise. ACP issues short-lived, precisely scoped credentials and enforces just-in-time, least-privilege access while centralizing inventory and activity trails. The platform streamlines policy-driven approvals for developers, speeds audits for security teams, and reduces compliance and operational risk by discovering non-human identities (NHIs) and remediating excessive privileges in real time.
