Summary

In modern enterprises, the concept of ownership, particularly regarding non-human identities (NHIs), differs significantly from personal ownership, as it involves complex interactions across various teams. Instead of focusing on individual accountability, enterprises should emphasize risk management and governance by ensuring that critical questions about NHIs, such as their purpose, access permissions, and security status, are easily answerable. This approach minimizes risks and scales better than relying on human-dependent processes. GitGuardian's platform supports this by integrating secrets detection with governance, providing actionable insights and continuous monitoring to enhance security and compliance. By shifting the focus from blame to assurance, GitGuardian helps organizations maintain control over NHIs, aligning with frameworks like OWASP's Top 10 for NHI risks to address issues such as long-lived secrets and leaked credentials.
