The Dangers of Machine Identities

The fastest-growing attack surface—ignored by traditional IAM

88% of breaches stem from identity-based attacks, with an average breach cost between $500k and $5M. You can’t secure what you can’t see. StackGuard protects your infrastructure against the major pitfalls of secret sprawl.

Improper Offboarding: Former employees retaining access after leaving the company.

Third-Party NHI Breaches: Breaches at SaaS vendors that directly affect customers (e.g. Salesforce, Replit AI).

Secret Sprawl: Leaked NHIs and credentials, including from public repositories (e.g. GitHub, Hugging Face).

Overprivileged NHIs: Excess privileges easily exploited by hackers to gain full database access.

A Unified Strategy for NHI Security

Discovery & Monitoring

Comprehensive NHI Discovery across Code repos, CI/CD Pipelines, Cloud, Storages, Active Directory, and Agentic AI Platforms. Gain instant visibility into the blast radius of any exposed credential.

Risk Remediation

Developer-friendly, context-aware remediation. Utilize AI-powered patching, one-click fixes, and runtime injection of Secrets to instantly neutralize threats without breaking pipelines.

Governance & Compliance

Automated policy enforcement, lifecycle management, and NHI rotation. Maintain a centralized inventory in a secure vault while meeting DPDP, SOC, PCI DSS, and GDPR compliance.

THE STACKGUARD LIFECYCLE

From detection to full governance, the path stays consistent

RUNTIME VISIBILITY & CONTROL

Gain full visibility over your leaked secrets in real-time

Are your Servers, Legacy Apps, EC2 instances, or Pods leaking Secrets? The StackGuard Sensor monitors both east-west and north-south traffic to detect credential sprawl exactly where it happens.
Gain full visibility over your leaked secrets in real-time
Detection of NHIs using Runtime Visibility ensures your application pipelines are breaking before hackers exploit them. Reach out to application providers immediately when legacy vulnerabilities are exposed.

Cloud IAM Analysis

Multi-cloud role analysis to detect and prevent over-provisioning.

K8s Runtime Security

Detect and remediate credential leaks in Kubernetes clusters across workloads.

Credentials Security

Stop credentials sprawl across Git repositories, buckets, and collaboration tools.

Workload Identity

Secure machine-to-machine communication without relying on static, hardcoded secrets.

STACKGUARD USE CASES

Stop defining secrets in .env or config files

Stop worrying about ownership transfer when developers leave. Deploy StackGuard anywhere—Cloud, Enterprise Vaults, Source Control, Chat Apps, or Agentic AI.

Stop defining secrets in .env or config files

Are you still paying for duplicated Secrets across various enterprise vaults? Gain full visibility and control over your secrets lifecycle from a single pane of glass.
  • Unified inventory of secrets from multiple vaults (AWS, Azure, HashiCorp, etc).
  • Gain exact visibility on who is accessing our secrets and how many times.
  • Access previous versions of Secrets to track historical compromises.
  • Automated alerts for when keys are due for mandatory rotation.

Agentic AI Platforms & LLM Security

52% of organizations have deployed AI agents. StackGuard gives you observability and control over AI agents before they compromise your data.
  • Track exactly how many AI Agents and Sub-agents are deployed in your network.
  • Identify true ownership and track when models or agents were last modified.
  • Map and limit what tools, databases, and APIs each specific agent can access.
  • Prevent scenarios where AI agents gain full read/write access to production DBs.

Runtime Visibility

Legacy applications and modern K8s pods are notorious for leaking secrets. StackGuard’s sensor technology sits at the runtime level to monitor behavior.

  • Monitor both east-west and north-south traffic for credential anomalies.
  • Catch hardcoded credentials injected during runtime execution.
  • Detect compromised service accounts communicating unexpectedly.
See Runtime Sensor capabilities

Blast Radius Context

NHIs today suffer from a lack of contextual visibility. StackGuard connects the dots so your security team doesn’t spend weeks doing it manually.

  • Instantly see which systems a compromised key can access.
  • Trace ownership: Who created the key? What was their role in the organization?
  • Understand the exact permissions assigned to orphaned service accounts.

Numbers that speak louder

The growth of machine vs human identities per enterprise is accelerating rapidly. If you are only managing human access, your attack surface is wide open.

80%

Identity-Based Breaches

Of breaches stem from identity-based attacks, largely due to exposed API keys, unrotated secrets, and rogue AI agents.

80:1

Machine vs Human Ratio

NHIs outnumber humans 80 to 1, with projections hitting 350,000 machine identities per enterprise by 2026.

10%

Mature Governance

Only 10% of organizations have a mature governance strategy for NHIs, leaving 90% exposed to a $500k–$5M breach risk.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

StackGuard FAQ

What are Non-Human Identities (NHIs)?
Non-Human Identities (NHIs) include API keys, service accounts, tokens, and AI agents that machines use to communicate. They drive almost every business workflow, outnumbering human identities by an estimated 80:1.
Yes. With 52% of organizations deploying AI agents, StackGuard helps you track how many agents/sub-agents are deployed, who owns them, what permissions they have, and the exact tools or databases they can access.
StackGuard scans across Code repos, CI/CD Pipelines, Cloud environments, Storage buckets, Active Directory, Chat Apps, Enterprise Vaults, SIEMs, and LLM Models to give you a unified inventory.
From a single exposed token to a full attack chain, StackGuard maps every permission, endpoint, and resource associated with a credential in seconds. This reveals the exact “blast radius” if that secret were to be compromised.
Yes. StackGuard supports automated policy enforcement and lifecycle management, including timely rotations to ensure applications don’t break, while feeding updates directly into your secure centralized vault.

Are your applications ready to go Secret-less?
