When most people think about Identity and Access Management (IAM), they picture employees logging into systems. But in reality, the majority of access requests today come from non-human identities such as service accounts, automation scripts, containers, bots and APIs. These identities power modern infrastructure. They deploy code, manage resources, sync data and trigger processes. While they are essential, they also contribute to a massive attack surface that continues to grow.

Omdia, a global analyst and advisory leader, recently released a report called “How Extended Access Management (XAM) closes the gaps in security.” In it, they describe how existing tools have failed to address the most serious security challenges: application sprawl, device sprawl, and identity sprawl.

Enterprise-wide deployment of Keeper isn’t just a best practice – it’s a necessity. Stolen credentials fuel everything from phishing attacks to full-blown breaches. Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report identifies the top three methods of unauthorized access as stolen credentials, phishing and vulnerability exploits, all of which are closely tied to identity.
