No, this isn\u2019t a movie review, but it is true, machine identities are on the rise.<\/p>\n

Before getting into that, let\u2019s make sure everyone is on the same page with what machine identities are. The term \u201cmachine identities\u201d is fairly new. Gartner<\/a> just started using it last year. And while the term is relatively new, machine identities themselves are not. Entrust<\/a> has been solving for this for 25+ years.<\/p>\n

So why have we started using this term?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For starters, it breaks identities into two different categories: humans and machines. The significance of this is that the number of human identities has remained relatively flat over the years, whereas the number of machine identities has exploded.<\/p>\n

Another important distinction is that machine identities \u2013 whether we\u2019re talking about devices or workloads \u2013 also require their own strategy and own set of tools to support and manage those identities.<\/p>\n

So what about that rise?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Think about the number of devices around you right now. You might have your laptop, phone, and tablet within arm\u2019s reach. If you\u2019re at home, there might be another computer or two in the household. How about a smart thermostat? Smart fridge? What about your car? So many connected machines. And think about the data they collect, store, and share. That world needs to be secured, and it\u2019s done via a credential, such as keys, secrets, and certificates. We\u2019ve previously talked about the increase in certificates organizations are managing and the need for proper management. This is the exact same story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For machine identity management, it\u2019s imperative to have total visibility into what\u2019s in your environment and from different sources, centralized policy enforcement, control and monitoring \u2013 all from a single pane of glass. The other key to success \u2013 automation, automation, automation. Manual crypto and certificate management are no longer sustainable at this scale.<\/p>\n

The growth of machine identities has significantly increased the attack surface. To ensure the wrong people don\u2019t take control of your devices or steal your data, robust identity certificates and proper management are critical.<\/p>\n
