Automation is the New Attack Surface: Securing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) at the Infrastructure Layer
Modern infrastructure moves fast. Automation now powers nearly every critical system — from provisioning environments with code, to deploying software through pipelines, to scaling workloads across distributed services and AI agents. But beneath that velocity lies an expanding layer of risk that’s often invisible: non-human identities (NHI). Download this paper to learn more.

These identities — bots, scripts, CI jobs, deployment agents, service accounts —
are doing the real work of delivering infrastructure. Yet most operate outside the
boundaries of modern identity governance. They authenticate with static tokens
or embedded secrets, often carry excessive permissions, and rarely expire.
There’s no session tracking, no behavioral visibility, and little alignment with
Zero Trust frameworks.
While most organizations have strengthened security for human
access with SSO, MFA, and approval-based workflows, automation
remains unauthenticated. And the consequences are unfolding
across enterprise environments and major service providers.
