Скачать или смотреть NHI vs. machine IAM: know the difference | SGNL Continuous Identity Sessions

What's the difference between "nonhuman identity" and "machine IAM"? Felix Gaehtgens explains why the distinction matters.

"Nonhuman identity is a sloppy buzzword that refers to legacy artifacts—API keys, service accounts, static passwords. It's technical debt. Machine IAM is the practice of securing machine-to-machine interactions using dynamic, ephemeral patterns. The goal isn't just to manage credentials, but to not need to store credentials at all."

The analogy: NHI management is like having proper asbestos handling protocols—it reduces risk, but you're still living with dangerous materials. Machine IAM uses safe, modern building materials from the start.
