The latest NHI & Secrets Risk Report (H1 2025) from Entro Labs is here, spotlighting what security leaders need to know right now!
The report uncovers the reality behind the explosive growth of Non-Human Identities and the blind spots most organizations don’t see coming such as:
• Agentic AI is fueling unprecedented identity sprawl of 144:1 NHI to Human Identity
• Over 60% of NHIs sit idle but still hold privileged access.
• Secrets are scattered across code, pipelines, and SaaS tools, silently increasing risk. And more!
It’s not enough to “discover” these risks, you need a strategy to govern and act on them.
Check it out and let me know what you think: https://lp.entro.security/nhi-secrets-risk-report-h1-2025
We were at around 50:1 last year and now close to 150:1 with Agentic AI causing huge increase in secrets sprawl, mind blowing.
I can attest as a practitioner running a global NHI programs, yes 60% stale accounts is not uncommon.
Looking forward to full read of this report.
