Non-Human Identities (NHIs) such as API keys, service accounts, and bots — have become the largest blind spot in enterprise security. As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, AI deployments, and third-party integrations, NHIs now outnumber human users by a staggering margin. Yet, most security teams still lack visibility and governance over them.

This article breaks down the 5 most critical NHI security challenges facing enterprises in 2025:

  1. Cloud & SaaS NHI Visibility Gaps — NHIs proliferate in cloud environments with little centralized tracking.

  2. DevOps Pipeline Credentials — Hardcoded secrets and untracked service accounts create hidden vulnerabilities.

  3. AI & Automation Identity Risks — AI-driven systems are expanding attack surfaces without identity governance.

  4. Legacy On-Prem NHIs — Outdated service accounts and hardcoded credentials persist in legacy systems.

  5. Third-Party Integrations & Supply Chain — NHIs created by vendors become unmonitored attack vectors.

Oasis Security provides the automation, governance, and real-time monitoring required to manage NHI risks across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By enabling comprehensive NHI discovery, automated risk scoring, and policy-driven lifecycle management, Oasis helps enterprises take control of their exploding machine identity landscape—before attackers do.
