Astrix Security forged a new partnership with GuidePoint Security to enhance protection of hon-human identities (NHIs) in enterprise environments. This collaboration should extend IAM and threat detection and response (TDR) capabilities to service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens and other machine credentials.
“While 49 percent of breaches involve stolen credentials, non-human identities (which account for the majority of credentials) have historically been under the radar without visibility and context to secure them.” said Kevin Converse, GuidePoint VP of IAM. “Our partnership with Astrix delivers the competitive edge and expertise needed to close the non-human identity security gap.”
The agreement combines GuidePoint expertise in identity governance and Astrix’s cutting-edge NHI security platform, empowering organizations to:
- Gain visibility into and manage the lifecycle of NHIs
- Reduce attack surfaces related to NHIs
- Detect and respond to NHI-based attacks in real time
- Govern NHIs, from creation to expiration
“We’re thrilled to partner with GuidePoint Security to help our joint customers solve Non-Human Identity,” said Eric Goldstein, the director of channel and alliances, Astrix Security. “While not a new problem, NHIs have grown exponentially as businesses rely on increasingly interconnected systems and applications – these NHIs often have the same or greater privileges and access to those core systems we’ve spent the last decade securing from the human side – it’s time we bring that same rigor to protecting the non-human side and our partnership with GuidePoint allows for just that.” .
This strategic collaboration also marks a step forward in safeguarding NHIs, ensuring that enterprises are equipped with the right tools and expertise to close the NHI security gap and govern this critical threat vector. Customers interested in taking advantage of the partnership and closing the NHI gap are encouraged to schedule an assessment or reach out to learn more.
