GitGuardian’s Non-Human Identity Guide uncovers the rising risks posed by machine identities-like service accounts and CI/CD tools-that now outnumber human users in modern software development.

Key findings:
• Over 80% of secrets are used by non-human identities.
• These accounts often have excessive access and poor rotation policies.
• Security teams struggle to monitor machine-to-machine authentication.
• Shadow automation and unmanaged service accounts create hidden risks.

Read the full guide to understand the security challenges of non-human identities and learn how to manage and secure them effectively.
