Non-Human IGA for Modern Infrastructure

AI agents, workloads, APIs, and service accounts now outnumber human users. Defakto extends identity governance to every non-human actor delivering control, visibility, and compliance without legacy overhead.

Challenges

The governance gap with NHI

Every API call, every automated deployment, every AI agent runs on a machine identity. But while you govern human users with policies, approvals, and reviews, your service accounts get permanent access with no oversight. Legacy IGA wasn’t built for machines, and the gap is getting dangerous.

Defakto: Govern machines like you govern people

Defakto applies the same governance rigor to machines that you already use for humans: just-in-time access, policy enforcement, continuous review, and complete audit trails.

Complete your IGA strategy

Your IGA system governs 10,000 employees but ignores 450,000 service accounts. Defakto extends governance to every machine identity without the manual overhead that makes traditional IGA painful. Most enterprises carry identity baggage that traditional IGA never fixed. Defakto clears it out by replacing error-prone, static approaches with dynamic governance built for NHI.

With Defakto, you can:

  • Remove standing privileges
    No more accounts with perpetual access just waiting to be abused.
  • Eradicate secrets
    Eliminate hardcoded keys, config files, and vault sprawl that attackers target.
  • Retire orphaned & over-privileged service accounts
    Replace years-old accounts with identities that only exist when needed.
  • Automate certificate & token management
    Identities are minted and retired on demand. No CSR requests, no manual ticket queues, no rotation headaches.
  • Unify auditability
    Stop piecing together logs; every machine action ties back to a governed identity.

Capabilities that complete IGA for NHI

Defakto extends governance beyond people to every machine, workload, and AI agent. By embedding lifecycle control and policy enforcement into your infrastructure, Defakto makes IGA complete and keeps it aligned with Zero Trust principles.

What Defakto adds:

Short-lived identity issuance

Dynamic identities are issued on demand when a task begins and revoked automatically when it ends. No standing privileges, no stale accounts.

Policy-based access enforcement

Access is scoped by policy to what a workload or agent needs, enforced in real time with no manual intervention.

Continuous attestation

Trust is verified throughout the lifecycle. Every workload and agent is continuously validated.

Unified audit trail

Every action is logged against a governed identity, giving you clear, auditable accountability across human and non-human activity.

With Defakto, you gain the missing governance layer for non-human identities, while reinforcing least-privilege access and Zero Trust resilience across your environment.
