You're focused on leveraging the latest technology for growth and innovation, but there's a hidden risk that comes with it. The software, automated systems, and AI tools that power your business each have their own non-human identity (NHI). Managing these digital identities was a significant challenge even before the AI boom, but now, with intelligent agents capable of independent action, NHIs represent a critical threat that demands immediate attention.

The biggest security threats aren't always the ones banging on the front door. A recently uncovered flaw shows that hackers can abuse a Microsoft 365 feature to send malicious emails that appear to originate from inside your company. Because they look like internal mail, they often bypass traditional security filters, making them particularly dangerous.

As the digital world becomes increasingly complex, finding ways to protect personal and business information is more important than ever. Traditional passwords have long been the go-to solution for securing online accounts, but they come with a variety of vulnerabilities.

Data breaches are an unfortunate norm in today's digital world, and traditional encryption techniques are no longer enough to prevent them. In addition, as businesses become more data-driven and regulations tighten, the pressure is on to rethink how we secure sensitive information, not just during storage but also throughout its entire life cycle.
