Description
Identity Security teams have been asking for a better way to manage the growing number of machine identities and the humans responsible for them. This update brings both together in one unified view, helping teams stay audit ready, reduce risk, and save time chasing down disconnected data.
This post introduces updates to the Identity Control Panel that make it easier to govern machine identities alongside their human counterparts. As the number of machine identities continues to grow, it’s critical to track their accounts, usage, and ownership. The new machine identity view surfaces these details, while the updated human identity panel now shows who’s responsible for what.
New Capabilities
We’ve added a new control panel for machine identities that shows detailed metadata, associated accounts, and audit events. You can now also view ownership links from human identities to machine identities. These additions make it easier to manage both sides of the identity equation with greater clarity and control.
Problem
Identity Security teams struggle to manage machine identities because they are scattered across different systems with limited context. There is no easy way to see which accounts belong to a machine, what it can access, or who is responsible for it. Similarly, human identity systems do not show ownership of machine identities, making it difficult to assign accountability or track relationships between humans and non-human identities.
Solution
Identity Security teams can now use Machine Identity Security’s unified control panel to view key details, associated accounts, and audit events for each machine identity in one place. In the human identity view, they’ll also see a new section that lists any machine accounts the person owns. This creates a connected, more complete picture of identity relationships across the organization.
