Non-human identities outnumber human users 144 to 1, yet most security programs overlook them. The OWASP NHI Top 10 maps the risks.
Two layers protect cloud-native apps: Workload IAM secures machine identity and API security inspects request traffic. Most teams need both.
Test your MCP systems for confused deputy attacks, token passthrough risks and the authorization patterns the specification requires.
You can stand up an MCP server in minutes, but controlling how it authenticates and what it can access is where the real work begins.
Gartner’s 2025 PAM Magic Quadrant names machines a core market concern. That shift changes the map for NHI security and workload IAM.
Managing digital identities for both human and nonhuman users is a central challenge for modern organizations spanning SaaS and clouds.
The concept of nonhuman identity is gaining traction fast, sparking new debate over how it differs from managing service accounts.
Every workload that calls an API has to prove it belongs. How that proof gets exchanged shapes the blast radius of any credential leak.
Not all credentials are created equal. Compare API keys and JWTs across security, scalability, and fit for modern workload authentication.
MCP gives AI agents a common language for action—but also a new attack surface. Here’s how to model threats before they become incidents.
