NetSuite’s cloud-based ERP platform is the backbone of financial operations, inventory, CRM, and more. However, the increasing reliance on non-human identities (NHIs)—OAuth apps, service accounts, API integrations—has quietly expanded the attack surface. These NHIs often operate with broad, unchecked access, making them prime targets for attackers.

The risks are real:

• Data breaches from compromised API keys exposing sensitive financial and customer data.

• Operational disruptions through unauthorized automation changes (e.g., payment redirection, supply chain manipulation).

• Compliance failures due to orphaned, overprivileged NHIs violating SOX and other regulatory mandates.

Astrix Security mitigates these risks by delivering:

• Comprehensive NHI discovery across NetSuite environments to eliminate shadow integrations.

• Contextual posture management that flags inactive, over-permissioned, or high-risk NHIs tied to third-party vendors.

• Automated remediation workflows to disable unused identities, enforce least privilege, and close security gaps—before attackers can exploit them.

In an environment where automation drives efficiency, securing NHIs in NetSuite is no longer optional—it’s a compliance and risk management imperative.
