Securing SaaS-to-SaaS integrations involves navigating a complex web of non-human identities (NHIs) and managing their myriad access permissions. These NHIs—ranging from service accounts to API keys and OAuth tokens—often come with extensive access rights that are rarely reviewed or updated. Consequently, organizations, or individual business users within, may inadvertently grant excessive permissions, which can lead to significant security risks if an integration is compromised or misconfigured.
Since you cannot enforce security controls such as strong authentication with MFA on NHIs and since NHIs are often leveraged to grant third-party vendors access to SaaS applications, attackers have realized that they are often a weak blindspot in organizations’ access controls.
The high-profile breaches at Microsoft (Midnight Blizzard), CircleCI, and Cloudflare underscore the urgency of this issue, where attackers exploited compromised NHIs to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. These incidents highlight how critical it is to not only secure NHIs but also to ensure their access rights are tightly controlled and continuously monitored.
Valence delivers comprehensive capabilities designed to secure SaaS-to-SaaS integrations and manage non-human identities effectively. Our platform provides detailed visibility into NHIs, their activities, and access privileges, enabling organizations to enforce a least-privilege access model. By identifying and addressing inactive or over-privileged integrations, and through collaboration with SaaS admins and business users who can provide context, Valence helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Additionally, our solution offers real-time monitoring and alerts for suspicious behavior, ensuring that potential threats are swiftly detected and addressed. This proactive approach not only enhances security but also supports compliance with industry standards and regulations.
With 8.6 non-human identities for every 1 account, NHIs have become a massive risk surface. Read more about the challenges of securing NHIs.
