Why is NHI protection a critical challenge?

Non-human identities are a highly exposed and targeted attack surface, especially in Active Directory environments:

  • Low visibility level, with many active NHIs operating under the IAM and security teams' radar.

  • High access privileges to multiple resources to manage the services they are accountable for.

  • Impossible to protect with MFA because they're not human.

  • Difficult to protect with PAM password rotation due to operational disruption concerns.

Silverfort is the first solution to automate NHI security, finally putting this critical need within every organization's reach.
