Non-human identities—service accounts, API keys, machine users—run the systems that keep your product alive. They connect to Okta, Entra ID, Vanta, and dozens of other integrations. They spin up workloads, fetch secrets, send telemetry, and deploy updates. When one fails, it takes pieces of your infrastructure with it. The real risk is that nobody notices until the damage spreads.
Most identity platforms were built for humans. User provisioning, MFA, password resets—they dominate the workflow. Non-human identities live in the shadows, without the same controls, visibility, or lifecycle management. They accumulate permissions. They outlive the code they serve. They get hardcoded into pipelines. They live in multiple systems at once—Okta groups, Entra ID roles, Vanta audits—without a clear owner.
Security and compliance require an inventory you can trust. Integrations with Okta, Entra ID, and Vanta pull in the basics: who the entity is, what it can do, when it last acted. But the real value comes from mapping connections between these identities, the systems they touch, and the privileges they hold. That’s where drift and privilege creep appear. That’s where you spot zombie service accounts still holding production access six months after the service was killed.
