For every developer, engineer, or admin in your organization, there are 82 IAM roles, service accounts, CI/CD tokens, and OIDC federations operating silently in the background.

These machine identities are now the #1 attack vector for cloud breaches. Not phishing. Not credential stuffing. Machine identities.
