Key Considerations for Securing Different Machine Identities

As machine identities multiply and vaults sprawl across clouds, visibility becomes your biggest vulnerability.

Cloud growth has fueled an explosion of machine identities and secrets—often scattered across multiple AWS accounts and unmanaged vaults. The result: vault sprawl, blind spots, and rising compliance

The explosion of machine identities—outnumbering human users by more than 80:1—has created new security challenges for enterprises.

As cloud-native architectures and microservices expand, machine identities now vastly outnumber human ones, creating a growing security challenge. Traditional static secrets like API keys, passwords,

This excerpt from the Identity Security Imperative explores how to secure rapidly growing machine identities with intelligent controls—without slowing innovation.

Generative AI accelerates development, but it can also slip vulnerabilities into your software supply chain. From exposed secrets to malicious code, the risks are real and evolving fast.

API keys are essential for securing application access, but when hard coded, reused, or stored insecurely, they become easy targets for attackers.

Machine identities now outnumber humans and often go unmanaged, creating serious audit and compliance risks. Download the guide to learn how to secure non-human access and improve audit readiness.
