While organizations have long prioritized securing human users, non-human identities – like applications, scripts, and automated services – are often overlooked.

The 2024 Non-Human Identity Security Report from Aembit, based on a survey of over 100 security and IT professionals, uncovers the disparity between human and non-human identity security, and why it’s creating vulnerabilities and breaches in modern infrastructure.

The report also explores the specific challenges of managing non-human identities and securing software workload access to critical resources. As you’ll learn, given the rapid rise of cloud services, automation, and distributed architectures, the risks are becoming too big to ignore.
