As infrastructure becomes more automated and distributed, the number of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) within enterprise environments has quietly surpassed that of human users. These NHIs now play a foundational role in everything from DevOps pipelines to AI-powered workflows, often relying on secrets like API keys, certificates and tokens to access systems and perform critical tasks. While NHIs are doing more, they’re being secured less.

Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure spending is projected to surpass $200 billion by 2028, according to research from the International Data Corporation (IDC). As organizations rapidly deploy more complex AI systems, the demand for high-performance infrastructure, like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and AI accelerators, is surging. This growth exponentially increases computing power, energy consumption and data exchange across hybrid and cloud environments.
