You're Telling Me There's Another Acronym?

With the evolving landscape of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IAM (Identity Access Management), another prominent concept, NHI (Non-Human Identity), is emerging as a significant term in the industry.

NHI, as explained by Nissim Pariente, the CPO of Token Security, encompasses the non-human identities associated with AI agents and automation. These identities pose a unique challenge due to their complex governance requirements.

Nissim categorizes the available NHI security vendors into distinct types available today that can assist with the securing challenges:

1. SaaS oriented: Focuses on API keys, OAuth applications, and integrations.

2. Secrets scanning: Specializes in detecting API keys and tokens.

3. Vault and rotation: Streamlines key and secret rotation processes.

4. Context-driven: Emphasizes identity posture and infrastructure prioritization.
