NHI Global Summit - Panel Session - NHI Stats That Will Blow Your Human Mind

At the NHI Global Summit, I was honoured to host an amazing panel discussion with :

• Itzik Alvas

• Daniel Cohen

• Rahul Bhardwaj

• Itay Mesika

I shared 4 eye-opening stats from our ground-breaking research report we published in January 2025 The Ultimate Guide To Non-Human Identities

1️⃣ Secrets Sprawl - 12.8M secrets leaks in GitHub in 2023

2️⃣ NHI Breaches - 67% of enterprises enduring a successful cyberattack from compromised NHIs

3️⃣ Addressing NHI Risks - 68% of respondents said they don't know how to fully address NHI Risks

4️⃣ Mismanaged NHIs - 97% of NHIs have excessive privileges increased unauthorised access and broadening the attack surface

Some great insights from the panel that brought home to the audience the huge exposure and challenges around managing and securing NHIs.

This is due to :

• many NHIs being static in nature

• huge secrets sprawl problem from hyper fragmentation

• weak or non-existent lifestyle processes

• easy discovery and compromise

• excessive privileges; breaches seen on a regular basis including 3rd party supply chains
