Non-human identities are expanding the attack surface


Service accounts, AI agents, API keys, and workloads operate with limited oversight, creating ideal conditions for modern adversaries.

Invisible identities create dangerous blind spots

Invisible identities create dangerous blind spots

Most organizations lack visibility to connect non-human identities to the critical systems and data they access.

Standing privileges increase identity risk

Standing privileges increase identity risk

Persistent access and overprivileged non-human identities give adversaries a direct path to escalation and lateral movement.

Static access controls cannot stop today’s threats

Static access controls cannot stop today’s threats

Legacy IAM and PAM tools cannot continuously validate identity risk or dynamically enforce access as conditions change.

Discover and secure every NHI


Continuously discover and correlate non-human identities and AI agents across hybrid environments. CrowdStrike connects identities to applications, workloads, devices, and data to expose hidden risk, overprivileged access, unmanaged accounts, and toxic combinations before adversaries exploit them.

Stop NHI threats in real time


The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform uses AI-driven behavior analytics, threat intelligence, and real-time telemetry to detect compromised credentials, potential attack paths, abnormal NHI behavior, and identity misuse as attacks unfold. Instantly contain threats by revoking access, reducing privileges, or enforcing additional verification.

Enforce zero standing privileges


Eliminate standing access with just-in-time authorization and continuous validation for non-human identities. CrowdStrike dynamically grants and revokes privileges based on real-time identity, device, and threat context, reducing attack surface exposure without slowing operations.

FAQs

Non-human identities are digital identities used by machines, applications, workloads, services, API keys, and AI agents to access systems, data, and other resources. Unlike human users, these identities often operate continuously in the background, which makes them harder to inventory, monitor, and govern across cloud and on-premises environments.

Non-human identities can expand the attack surface because they often operate with limited oversight, persistent access, and high privileges. If an adversary compromises a service account, API key, workload identity, or AI agent, that identity can provide a path to sensitive systems, privilege escalation, and lateral movement.

CrowdStrike secures non-human identities by continuously discovering and correlating them across hybrid environments, connecting identities to applications, workloads, devices, and data, and exposing hidden risks such as overprivileged access, unmanaged accounts, and risky permission combinations before adversaries can exploit them.

CrowdStrike continuously monitors non-human identities using AI-powered behavior analytics, threat intelligence, and real-time telemetry to detect compromised credentials, potential attack paths, abnormal non-human identity behavior, and identity misuse as attacks unfold. It helps contain threats by automatically revoking access, reducing privileges, or enforcing additional verification.

Zero standing privilege for non-human identities removes persistent access and replaces it with just-in-time authorization and continuous validation. CrowdStrike dynamically grants and revokes privileges based on real-time identity, device, and threat context, helping reduce attack surface exposure without slowing operations.

Organizations can schedule a free identity security risk review to evaluate their identity security posture. The review includes a detailed report and a one-on-one session with a CrowdStrike identity expert.
