The number of identities in a connected factory no longer tracks headcount. It tracks service accounts, API keys, machine certificates, and a fast-growing population of AI agents, many of them poorly governed, excluded from access reviews, and never revisited after setup.
In this whitepaper, iC Consult and Saviynt examine why non-human identities (NHIs) represent one of the most significant and underaddressed identity security challenges in manufacturing today, and why AI agents and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are adding a new layer of risk.
You will learn:
- Why NHIs behave differently than human identities, and what makes them uniquely dangerous in a connected IT/OT environment
- How AI agents inherit excess permissions from whoever deployed them, and why that gap is unnecessary attack surface
- What a practical framework for NHI and AI governance looks like
- How iC Consult and Saviynt help manufacturers bring these identities under control, including with Saviynt’s newly launched Zuma platform
