Rise of the Machines: Why Non-Human Identity Management is the New Cybersecurity Frontier
The Internet of Things (IoT) is making machines chat more than teenagers at a sleepover. But who are these chatty machines? Non-human identities (NHI)! As they multiply like rabbits, managing their identities is crucial. With a 50:1 ratio to humans, it’s time to embrace the rise of our digital doppelgangers.
Hot Take:
Looks like machines are winning the popularity contest, folks! Non-human identities are multiplying like rabbits on a carrot farm, and it’s high time we get a handle on these digital doppelgängers before they start ordering pizzas and binge-watching sci-fi on our behalf!
Key Points:
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving a surge in machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
- Non-human identities (NHI) now outnumber human identities by a staggering 50:1 ratio.
- Managing NHIs is becoming critical due to complex IT infrastructures and increased automation.
- Cybercriminals are targeting NHIs, especially in the IoT domain, due to security vulnerabilities.
- The NHI market, dominated by startups, is ripe for acquisitions by larger identity security vendors.
