Understanding the 3-Layers of Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security in TrustFour’s Posture and Attack Surface Management Framework
In today’s interconnected digital ecosystems, securing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) has become a critical focus. NHIs—representing machines, applications, containers, and microservices—outnumber human identities exponentially and serve as essential components in modern IT infrastructures. However, their growing volume and complexity have created a vast, dynamic attack surface. The post Understanding the 3-Layers of Non-Human Identity (NHI) Security…
