An NHI security platform focused on third-party app and service account access governance across SaaS and cloud environments, providing visibility into OAuth connections, API integrations, and machine identity access paths.
Astrix Security maps the access graph for non-human identities across SaaS and cloud environments, with particular focus on third-party app integrations: OAuth tokens, API keys granted to external services, and machine-to-machine connections that accumulate across enterprise SaaS stacks without consistent governance. It works well at the integration visibility layer: identifying which apps and services have access to what, scoring the risk of each connection, and providing remediation workflows to revoke or limit unnecessary access. The gap is at runtime: Astrix does not mediate authentication events, cannot replace API keys and OAuth tokens with short-lived secretless credentials, and does not enforce access policy at the moment of each connection. Aembit is the runtime enforcement layer for the workloads an enterprise controls directly. It attests workload identity cryptographically, issues short-lived credentials at the moment of access, and eliminates the static credential surface for governed workloads. Aembit’s attestation logs provide the behavioral access data that enriches Astrix’s access graph analysis and risk scoring.
For workloads and AI agents that are under direct enterprise control and authenticate to APIs, databases, or internal services, Aembit replaces the API keys, service account tokens, and long-lived credentials that Astrix is tracking. When a workload authenticates through Aembit, it uses a short-lived credential that expires at the end of the access event and never enters any credential store.
Astrix’s third-party integration governance scope is broader than first-party workloads — it also covers OAuth grants made by employees and API keys issued to external SaaS vendors. Aembit’s Replaces relationship applies specifically to the first-party workload authentication use case: services, agents, and pipelines controlled by the enterprise that can be governed through Aembit’s attestation model.
Astrix’s access graph analysis depends on behavioral data: knowing not just which tokens exist but which ones are actively being used, from what sources, and with what frequency. Aembit’s attestation logs provide that behavioral layer for the workloads it governs: a continuous record of which attested workloads connected to which services, under which policy, and at what time.
Organizations running both tools can feed Aembit’s runtime logs into Astrix’s access graph workflows to produce richer risk scoring — behavioral evidence of which integrations are actively in use alongside the structural map of which credentials exist. This combination produces more accurate risk prioritization, reduces noise in stale-credential detection, and creates compliance evidence that covers both the credential state (from Astrix) and the runtime access behavior (from Aembit).
Astrix handles the broader third-party integration landscape that Aembit does not govern: OAuth grants made to external SaaS services, API keys issued to third-party vendors, and the full map of machine-to-machine connections across the enterprise’s SaaS stack. Aembit handles runtime enforcement for first-party workloads. The two operate at different scopes — Astrix at the integration discovery and risk layer across the full environment, Aembit at the runtime enforcement layer for governed workloads — and together provide layered coverage of the non-human identity surface.
