Non-Human Identities Need Containment, Not Just Rotation

Service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and agents are now lateral movement infrastructure

Non-human identities are becoming one of the most important trust paths in modern environments. This article explains why service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and AI agents need microsegmentation and blast-radius control, not just secrets hygiene.

Microsegmentation in 2026: The Control That Turns Breach Assumption Into Architecture

Why lateral movement, cloud sprawl, identity drift, and AI agents are making containment a board-level priority

A 2026 trend view on microsegmentation: vulnerability exploitation, ransomware, identity drift, cloud complexity, and AI agents all point to the same need - smaller blast radius by design.
