Poll - What NHI Use Case Concerns You The Most?

The Non-Human Identity Management Group launched a Poll on LinkedIn asking what type of Non-Human Identity use case concerns the most from a Security Risk Standpoint.

Very interesting results on what is the most concerning use case from a security risk standpoint :

• Service Accounts - 57%

• API Keys/Tokens - 28%

• NHIs in Robotic RPA Bots - 8%

• NHIs in IoT Devices - 7%

No surprise to see Service Accounts taking top spot given this is the most prevalent NHI that we have in the industry.

We would have thought API Keys/Tokens would have got a much higher vote, given many breaches involve them.

Surprising that IoT Devices in particular, did not get a bigger share of the vote, clearly showing this is an under represented or less understood area, but one that is increasingly becoming a big threat vector for organisations.
