The Rise of Non-Human Identities: A Major Threat to Cybersecurity

“

In recent years, the surge in ransomware attacks has exposed the vulnerabilities of companies to the increasing number of bots, fueled by the emergence of generative AI models. With the goal of bolstering cybersecurity defenses, Oasis Security Ltd. is focused on safeguarding the non-human entities within organizations.

According to Danny Brickman, the co-founder, and CEO of Oasis, the proliferation of attacks is largely attributed to the ease of unauthorized access through login credentials. In the evolving landscape of microservice-based and API-driven infrastructures, the number of non-human identities has escalated drastically, surpassing human identities by a factor of 50.

In a candid conversation with Kristen Martin, part of the Tech Innovation CUBEd Awards 2025 interview series, Brickman shed light on the essential role of technology in governing the interactions between human and non-human identities within enterprises. Oasis deploys an innovative solution called Safe Secret Rotation, which automates password changes and maintains a detailed inventory of confidential information.

Brickman underscores the critical importance of securing leaked secrets within organizations to prevent potential breaches, transforming seemingly benign identities into significant vulnerabilities. By revolutionizing machine-to-machine governance through automation, Oasis strives to harmonize security practices with the rapid pace of technological advancements – ensuring that security and development progress hand in hand.

For its groundbreaking contributions to cybersecurity, Oasis received the prestigious CUBEd “Rocketship” award, acknowledging its efforts to usher in a new era of secure identity management. By streamlining data ingestion processes and enhancing authentication protocols, Oasis bridges the gap between traditional security practices and the era of AI and cloud computing.
