Oasis Security Inventories and Governs Non-Human Identities

Oasis Security inventories and governs non-human identities across cloud and SaaS environments, discovering service accounts, API keys, and machine credentials, scoring their risk based on age, privilege level, and usage patterns, and providing lifecycle management workflows to remediate findings. It works well as a scanner and risk surface analyzer: it tells you what exists, how risky it is, and whether it has been reviewed. The gap is at runtime: Oasis does not mediate the actual authentication event when a workload connects to a service, cannot eliminate the static credentials that create the risk in the first place, and does not enforce access policy at the moment of each request. Aembit is the enforcement layer. It attests workload identity cryptographically at the moment of access, issues short-lived credentials that never persist in the environment, and eliminates the static credential surface that Oasis is scanning. For environments where static credentials remain, Aembit’s attestation logs provide the continuous runtime access data that Oasis’s periodic snapshots cannot generate, enriching risk scoring and compliance workflows.

Replaces

For workloads and AI agents that authenticate to APIs, databases, or cloud services, Aembit replaces the static API keys, service account tokens, and long-lived credentials that Oasis was built to discover and manage. When a workload authenticates through Aembit, it uses a short-lived, identity-bound credential issued at the moment of access and never stored. There is no credential left to inventory, score, rotate, or flag as stale.

This matters because the risk that Oasis identifies persists until someone acts on it. A service account flagged as overprivileged or stale today is still a live attack surface until it is rotated or removed. Aembit eliminates that surface for the workloads it governs, reducing the NHI governance scope from ongoing credential lifecycle management to a one-time policy configuration review.

Integrates With

Oasis depends on periodic discovery: scanning for credentials that exist, mapping them to workloads and access paths, and scoring risk based on observed patterns. Aembit’s attestation-based audit logs provide something periodic scanners cannot: a continuous, identity-aware record of which attested workloads authenticated to which services, under which policy, and at what exact time.

Organizations running both get a combined picture: credential state from Oasis (what exists and how risky it is) plus runtime behavior from Aembit (what actually connected and when). Ingesting Aembit’s logs into Oasis’s workflows enriches access graph analysis, improves risk scoring accuracy, and produces compliance evidence that covers both the static credential estate and the runtime access layer.

Works Alongside

Oasis handles the credential estate that has not yet been replaced: legacy API keys, service account passwords, and static tokens in systems where Aembit is not yet deployed. Aembit handles runtime authentication for workloads where it is deployed. The two operate at different layers — Oasis at the credential inventory and lifecycle layer, Aembit at the runtime access enforcement layer — and together provide coverage across the full non-human identity surface during migration.

Gartner’s 2025 PAM Magic Quadrant names machines a core market concern. That shift changes the map for NHI security and workload IAM.
For every human identity your IAM program governs, there are roughly 82 machine identities operating outside it. Most of them authenticate with static credentials that were provisioned once and never reviewed.
PAM is an intensifying interest for DevOps teams trying to bring the right set of access controls to bear on their infrastructure.
