He will discuss strategies for managing and securing these identities2.
This presentation underscores the critical security risks associated with non-human identities and the need for effective management and protection strategies.

GitGuardian, another significant player in the security landscape, has made substantial advancements in securing non-human identities (NHIs) and managing secrets:
-
NHI Governance Module: Scheduled for release in early 2025, this module centralizes secrets management, provides lifecycle management, advanced analytics, and seamless integration with existing systems. It aims to enhance the visibility and control over NHIs and their associated secrets4.
-
Secrets Detection and Management: GitGuardian has enhanced its library of specific and generic detectors to identify a wider range of secrets across various platforms. This includes detectors for AI/ML tools, developer tools, and cloud services. Additionally, the introduction of FP Remover has significantly reduced false positives, improving operational efficiency4.
These developments by GitGuardian and Aembit, along with the discussions at NHIcon 2025 and other security conferences, highlight the increasing focus on securing non-human identities and managing secrets to mitigate critical security risks.
