Frequently asked questions Expand All Collapse All How do I discover non-human identities (NHIs) I didn't know I had?
NHI (non-human identity) Security treats non-human identities as first-class citizens in your Access Graph. It discovers service accounts, API keys, and secrets across your environment. You get a complete view of their permissions, understand their risk scope, identify custodians, and catch uncontrolled access growth before it becomes a problem.
Why should I manage all identities in one place instead of using separate tools?
Fragmented tools create coverage gaps. You might not know if a dormant service account is accessing the same resource as an AI agent, or if removing one user's access accidentally breaks an agent workflow. Managing all three in one unified solution means you get complete visibility across your entire identity landscape. Other vendors require separate tools—which costs more, takes longer, and leaves gaps.
How are non-human identities different from AI agent identities?
NHIs such as service accounts, API keys, tokens and secrets have predictable workflows, whereas AI agents are more dynamic and can adapt based on requests. Identity and Access Security maps human, non-human, and AI agent identities in a single solution, so you can see all your identity risks together.
What is a blast radius?
A blast radius is the scope of damage if an identity is compromised. If an identity is compromised, how many systems can it reach? How much data can it access? How many other identities would be affected? Understanding blast radius before an incident happens means you can respond faster and contain damage.
