Non-Human Identity Management in Atlassian Cloud
Ask a security team how many employees they have and they will answer instantly. Ask how many non-human identities they have, and the room goes quiet. Non-human identities (NHIs) are the identities that applications, services and automation use to act in a system. Service accounts, automation users and bot logins are identities, while API tokens, keys and certificates are the credentials they authenticate with, and teams have to govern both. These identities run deployments, sync data, post notifications and generate reports, usually without anyone watching.
