At GitGuardian SecDays 2025, industry leaders from Akeyless, Aembit, GitGuardian, Vermeer, and the NHI Management Group tackled the growing crisis of non-human identities (NHIs), which now outnumber human accounts 100:1 in most enterprises. The discussion focused on the scale of unmanaged machine identities, static secrets as security debt, and the urgent need for automation, visibility, and just-in-time credentials.
Key insights included the need for cross-team collaboration, AI-assisted remediation, and cultural change to shift away from legacy credential practices. The consensus was clear: start small, focus on hygiene, and embed secretless identity management into modern workflows to secure today’s rapidly expanding machine-powered infrastructure.
