In today’s complex digital landscape, the number of machine identities is growing exponentially. In many mid-to-large enterprises, machine identities now outnumber human identities by a factor of 40 to 60.
As this trend continues, the management of non-human privileged accounts becomes a critical security and compliance priority. These accounts must be governed with the same rigor as human ones—through strong controls, continuous monitoring, and clearly defined processes for managing devices, services, and workloads.

This Gartner® report provides security and risk executives a guide to understand the concept and ingredients to build a practice for managing machine identity access. We believe it also gives them a framework to understand machine identities and implement effective controls to manage them.
