As modern infrastructures become increasingly automated, non-human identities, such as service accounts, API tokens, and automation agents, are emerging as critical security assets. Securing these identities is essential to protecting cloud-native environments, automated workflows, and machine-to-machine interactions from breaches, data leaks, and abuse. This book provides a comprehensive guide to securing NHIs through practical strategies and hands-on demonstrations. Readers will explore the evolution of NHI security, from early machine-to-machine protocols to modern Zero Trust frameworks. Key topics include designing secure service accounts, managing API tokens and certificates, implementing secrets management with tools like HashiCorp Vault, SPRIE, and applying robust security controls such as encryption, access control, monitoring, ZTA, testing, automation, and centralization. This book targets intermediate to advanced practitioners, security professionals, engineering teams, and technical leadership who must have foundational knowledge of cloud-native, API-driven, and automated infrastructure concepts.
