Based on the talk “The Explosion of Machine Identities: Are You Aware of This Silent Threat?” at SecDays France 2025.
Machine identities make up the majority of the over 24 million secrets GitGuardian discovered in public in 2025. Let's look at how we got here and how we fix this.
See how GitGuardian's deep discovery, combined with Akeyless's automation, delivers full secrets lifecycle control.
Discover how SPICE, WIMSE, and SCITT are redefining workload identity, digital trust, and software supply chain integrity in modern machine-first environments.
In this blog, we’ll break down why machine identity security is essential, highlight Gartner’s recent research, and connect these insights to real-world issues and solutions discussed in our NHI blog series.
GitGuardian launches new NHI Governance, enhanced synergies with Secret Manager integrations, smarter context analysis, container registry scanning, historical scanning for Jira & Confluence, and more. Take control of your secrets security, and machine identities.
MCP rapidly enhances AI capabilities but introduces security challenges through its distributed architecture. Especially, the distributed nature of MCP requires a lot of NHIs and their secrets. Our research shows that MCP is a new source of leaks that already discloses real-world secrets.
