5 min readThe core problem is that human IAM was never built for machine scale or behavior... The amount of non-human identities continues growing—10 to 1 will turn into 45 to 1, then 100 to 1, then 200 to 1. Nothing stops this growth. Unlike people, machines can't use MFA or log in with a password. Instead, their 'credentials' are static API keys or secrets embedded in code. This creates a hidden drag on DevOps velocity and leaves organizations exposed to security risks.

5 min readThe core challenge isn't secrets; it's access. Instead of treating access as a secrets problem, teams should treat it as an identity problem. This simple shift flips the script entirely. With ephemeral credentials tied to workload identity, authentication becomes invisible. Developers stop worrying about keys, security posture improves, and velocity accelerates.

5 min readWhile least privilege remains a fundamental security principle, DevOps teams consistently fail to apply it to non-human identities, like CI/CD pipelines and applications. This struggle stems from a reliance on outdated, static credentials and a tension between development velocity and security, making a shift to ephemeral, policy-driven access a critical and necessary solution.

Ron Zayas, CEO of Ironwall by Incogni, tackles a sobering question: why do attackers keep harvesting encrypted data—and why are organizations so complacent about it? Zayas notes that it’s not just “foreign” apps scooping up information; domestic platforms often collect just as much. The real issue is that organizations and individuals alike have adopted a..

The Atlantic Council has published its second annual report: “Mythical Beasts: Diving into the depths of the global spyware market.”

Too much good detail to summarize, but here are two items:

First, the authors found that the number of US-based investors in spyware has notably increased in the past year, when compared with the sample size of the spyware market captured in the first Mythical Beasts project. In the first edition, the United States was the second-largest investor in the spyware market, following Israel. In that edition, twelve investors were observed to be domiciled within the United States—­whereas in this second edition, twenty new US-based investors were observed investing in the spyware industry in 2024. This indicates a significant increase of US-based investments in spyware in 2024, catapulting the United States to being the largest investor in this sample of the spyware market. This is significant in scale, as US-based investment from 2023 to 2024 largely outpaced that of other major investing countries observed in the first dataset, including Italy, Israel, and the United Kingdom. It is also significant in the disparity it points to ­the visible enforcement gap between the flow of US dollars and US policy initiatives. Despite numerous US policy actions, such as the addition of spyware vendors on the ...
