The Silent Vulnerability: Why Non-Human Identities Are Now Prime for Exploitation

The Silent Vulnerability: Why Non-Human Identities Are Now Prime for Exploitation

Mar 4, 2026 By Bharath Rangamannar, SVP Engineering In Reach Security
The explosive growth of nonhuman identities (NHIs) has quietly become one of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges of the modern enterprise. Machine identities, API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, digital certificates, and other automated credentials now outnumber human identities by ever-growing ratios, sometimes by as much as 50 to one. However, despite their ubiquity and critical operational role, NHIs rarely receive the same level of governance or scrutiny as human-centered identities. Visibility is fragmented, controls are inconsistent, and access is often far broader than it needs to be.

Feb 3, 2026 By CP Morey In Reach Security
Article updated and refreshed February 3rd, 2026. When ideal controls aren’t possible, intentional alternatives help reduce exposure. Most security teams know what the “right” controls look like on paper.But real-world environments rarely match the blueprint. Between legacy systems,limited staffing, and overlapping tools, the gap between what’s ideal and what’s feasible is often wide. That’s where compensating controls come in. They aren’t shortcuts.

Security Control Management: The New Mandate for Risk-Driven Security

Feb 3, 2026 By CP Morey In Reach Security
Article updated and refreshed February 3rd, 2026. Because the tools you’ve deployed aren’t the same as the ones you’re using. Security teams today aren’t short on tools. Most environments are packed with security controls—spanning email, identity, network, endpoint, and cloud. But despite this abundance, risk remains stubbornly high. Attacks continue to land. Exposure persists. The problem isn’t the absence of controls. It’s the lack of control over the controls.

AI for Security Infrastructure: Rebalancing Cybersecurity for the Decade Ahead

Jan 29, 2026 By Garrett Hamilton, CEO and Co-Founder In Reach Security
For more than a decade, cybersecurity has been shaped by a single doctrine: assume breach. Facing high-volume, relentless, and diverse attacks, the security industry has been forced into a reactive stance, playing a constant game of whack-a-mole in a nonstop damage-limitation exercise. This has driven major investment in detection, response, and recovery, and created a world in which organizations are better at reacting to incidents than at preventing them in the first place.

What Device Code Phishing Reveals About Security Configuration Gaps

Jan 8, 2026 By John Dominguez In Reach Security
Recent research from Proofpoint highlights a growing trend in identity-based attacks. Rather than stealing passwords or exploiting software flaws, multiple threat actors are now abusing legitimate Microsoft authentication workflows to gain access to Microsoft 365 accounts at scale. This technique, known as device code phishing, is not new. What is new is how widespread the technique has become, particularly among both state-aligned and financially motivated adversaries.
