5 min readThe core problem is that human IAM was never built for machine scale or behavior… The amount of non-human identities continues growing”, 10 to 1 will turn into 45 to 1, then 100 to 1, then 200 to 1. Nothing stops this growth. Unlike people, machines can’t use MFA or log in with a password. Instead, their ‘credentials’ are static API keys or secrets embedded in code. This creates a hidden drag on DevOps velocity and leaves organizations exposed to security risks.
