When incident response does not include NHI governance, teams lose control over the credentials that attackers can replay after initial access. Service accounts, API keys, and machine certificates may remain valid even after the breach is detected, which extends the incident. Effective response must therefore include revocation, rotation, and ownership clarity for non-human access.
