Non-Human Identities in Twingate

A silent process runs in the background, authenticating code without a human ever touching a keyboard. That is the power of Non-Human Identities in Twingate.

Non-Human Identities are service accounts, automated scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and backend jobs that need secure, granular access across your network. Unlike user accounts, they operate without human intervention but still require strict identity and access control. Twingate’s approach isolates these identities, applying zero trust policies so each has only the permissions it needs—and nothing more.

Securing machine-to-machine connections is not optional. Without proper controls, automation pipelines can become an attack surface. Twingate’s Non-Human Identities use dedicated credentials, scoped roles, and dynamic authorization. Access can be rotated, restricted to specific resources, and revoked instantly without impacting human users. This reduces blast radius in case of compromise and keeps compliance audits clean.

Implementing Non-Human Identities in Twingate is straightforward. You create an identity, assign it to a Group, and link it to remote networks through connectors. The API-first design means you can script deployments, integrate with existing IAM tools, and push config changes in seconds. Logging and monitoring are built in, so you can trace every request back to its identity.

The result is a secure, maintainable pattern for automated systems. Your bots, services, and pipelines move fast while staying confined to the exact access they require. The infrastructure is ready for scale, resistant to credential leaks, and compliant with zero trust architecture.

Security for automation should be visible, controlled, and fast to deploy. See it live in minutes with hoop.dev.
