NHIs operate across every layer of infrastructure, powering applications, workflows, and integrations. They outnumber human users, grow rapidly and often remain invisible, overprivileged, and unmanaged.
Application, OS, and database service accounts running critical background processes.
Kubernetes service accounts, containers, and serverless functions authenticating dynamically.
API keys, access tokens, OAuth credentials, and SSH keys used in machine communication.
Digital certificates enabling encryption, authentication, and secure connections.
CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and infrastructure automation tools operating across environments.
IAM roles, managed identities, SaaS integrations, microservices, bots, and AI agents.
Non-human identities are created rapidly across cloud and DevOps workflows—often without visibility, ownership, or governance. Security teams struggle to manage access, enforce policies, and monitor activity at scale.
Identities are scattered across systems with no central inventory.
Many identities have no clear owner, making accountability difficult.
Over-permissioned identities increase risk and enable lateral movement.
Credentials embedded in code and pipelines are vulnerable to leaks.
Orphaned and unused identities remain active indefinitely.
Machine activity is rarely tracked, making detection and compliance harder.
Securden enables consistent control over machine identities through unified visibility, enforcement, and automation, turning NHI chaos into control.
Find every machine identity, map what it touches, and who owns it.
Identifies service accounts, workload identities, API keys, OAuth tokens, SSH keys, certificates, and automation identities everywhere.
Maps every identity to its owning team, application, and system to establish accountability and remove ambiguity across environments.
Builds a continuously updated relationship graph of identities, access paths, and dependencies to expose hidden connections and risks.
Eliminate hardcoded secrets and standing access with just-in-time controls.
Stores passwords, API keys, tokens, SSH keys, and certificates in a fully encrypted vault with policy-based access control.
Removes embedded credentials from code, CI/CD pipelines, config files, and automation.
Replaces permanent credentials with time-bound, approval-based, and ephemeral access.
Automate lifecycle management and catch anomalous behavior in real time.
Handles provisioning, ownership assignment, and deprovisioning through IAM, DevOps, and infrastructure-as-code integrations.
Continuously detects unused, stale, or unmanaged identities and removes them before they become exploitable risk vectors.
Flags unusual automation behavior, credential misuse, and deviations from expected identity activity patterns across systems.
Reduce delivery risk by governing secrets and access in CI/CD pipelines and preventing exposure across the software lifecycle.

Reduce third-party risk by controlling how applications connect and exchange data via policy-driven machine access.
Improve application security by governing service-to-service communication and enforcing approved machine interactions.
Ensure AI-driven systems remain controlled, auditable, and policy-bound in their actions and access.
Reduce risk, increase operational speed, and regain control over machine identity growth across the enterprise.
Reduce security exposure by eliminating risks from unmanaged credentials and restricting unnecessary access across systems and applications.
Improve engineering and DevOps efficiency by removing manual access bottlenecks and enabling faster, controlled automation at scale.
Regain control over identity growth by adding structure, ownership, and visibility across the full machine identity lifecycle.
Strengthen governance and audit readiness without slowing teams through consistent oversight, accountability, and traceability across environments.

Non-human identities (NHIs) are digital identities used by machines, applications, and automated processes to interact with systems. These include service accounts, API keys, tokens, workloads, scripts, and AI agents that authenticate and perform actions without human intervention.
NHIs often outnumber human users and are frequently overprivileged, unmanaged, or hidden. Risks arise from hardcoded secrets, lack of ownership, excessive permissions, and limited monitoring—making them prime targets for credential theft and lateral movement.
A non-human identity security platform provides centralized visibility, control, and governance over machine identities. It helps organizations discover identities, secure credentials, enforce least privilege, and automate lifecycle management across environments.
Managing machine identities at scale requires:
A control plane is a centralized layer that governs how identities are managed, secured, and monitored. For NHIs, it provides unified visibility, policy enforcement, and automation across cloud, on-prem, DevOps, and AI environments.
Hardcoded secrets can be eliminated by:
Zero standing access means eliminating permanent credentials and replacing them with time-bound, just-in-time access. This reduces the attack surface and ensures access is granted only when needed and revoked automatically.
It secures CI/CD pipelines by removing embedded secrets, enforcing access controls, and enabling safe automation. This reduces the risk of credential leaks while maintaining development speed.
AI agents are secured by assigning governed identities, enforcing least privilege, monitoring behavior, and ensuring all actions are auditable and policy-driven within a unified identity framework.
