Stack Identity Expands Platform to Secure Non-Human Identities

Stack Identity, a leader in identity security, has announced a significant expansion of its platform to include non-human identities. This enhancement aims to address the growing needs of modern enterprises in managing and securing digital identities, bolstering identity security posture, threat detection, and compliance.

Venkat Raghavan, founder and CEO of Stack Identity, emphasized the importance of this development, stating, "Bad actors are relentlessly targeting your identities, authentication processes, and IAM systems. Our platform correlates attacker enumerations and actions across IDP, cloud, SaaS, and databases to expose suspicious and malicious behavior, tackling the root causes of these exposures."

Al Ghous, CISO and Advisor, added, "The rise of the AI era has led to unprecedented data sharing through service principals, tokens, secrets, and API keys, creating significant challenges in governing non-human identities. The Stack Identity platform excels in seamlessly integrating human and non-human identities, recognizing that behind every non-human identity is a human who bears ultimate responsibility and accountability."

Key features and benefits of the expanded platform include:

Comprehensive Identity Governance: Stack Identity's platform offers the industry's first converged solution for identity security governance, integrating governance controls, workflows, access reviews, and certifications. This comprehensive approach reduces identity and entitlement sprawl, strengthens overall identity posture, and minimizes identity-related threats.

Enhanced Functionality:

Continuous Access Reviews and Certifications: Includes reviews for identity posture, IDP access, cloud, and SaaS admin access.

Governance Controls: Introduces new controls to manage privileged accounts, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Threat Detection and Access Graph: Features improved tools for monitoring SaaS entitlements, detecting identity threats, and visualizing access patterns.

Specialized Campaigns: Supports critical access scenarios like GitHub collaborator access, PCI DSS 4.0 compliance, and third-party data sharing.

Steve De Jong, Distinguished Engineer at Vercara, commented on the platform's capabilities, stating, "With the surge in unprecedented data sharing, enterprises now face the challenge of managing massive entitlement sprawl as SaaS applications and customer data proliferate. Effective lifecycle management for non-human identities across cloud accounts has become essential. It's impressive to see that Stack Identity's platform now enables consistent management of both human and non-human identities."
