Astrix Partners with GuidePoint Security

Astrix Security has announced a new partnership with GuidePoint Security to enhance protection of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in enterprise environments. This collaboration aims to extend IAM and Threat Detection and Response (TDR) capabilities to service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens, and other machine credentials.

With enterprises facing an average of 20,000 Non-Human Identities for every 1,000 employees, NHIs continue to be a significant blindspot in traditional identity security programs. Recent security breaches highlight the growing risk of attackers exploiting unmonitored NHIs to gain access to sensitive environments, escalate privileges, and move laterally within organizations—often without detection.

While 49% of breaches involve stolen credentials, Non-Human Identities (which account for the majority of credentials) have historically been under the radar without visibility and context to secure them.” says Kevin Converse, Vice President Identity and Access Management at GuidePoint Security.

“Our partnership with Astrix delivers the competitive edge and expertise needed to close the non-human identity security gap.”

The partnership combines GuidePoint’s expertise in identity governance with Astrix’s cutting-edge Non-Human Identity Security platform.


Together, this collaboration empowers organizations to:

  • Gain visibility into and manage the lifecycle of NHIs
  • Significantly reduce attack surfaces related to NHIs
  • Detect and respond to NHI-based attacks in real-time
  • Govern NHIs from creation to expiration

“We’re thrilled to partner with GuidePoint Security to help our joint customers solve Non-Human Identity. While not a new problem, NHIs have grown exponentially as businesses rely on increasingly interconnected systems and applications – these NHIs often have the same or greater privileges and access to those core systems we’ve spent the last decade securing from the human side – it’s time we bring that same rigor to protecting the Non-Human side and our partnership with GuidePoint allows for just that.” said Eric Goldstein, Director of Channel & Alliances at Astrix Security.

This strategic collaboration marks a significant step forward in safeguarding Non-Human Identities, ensuring that enterprises are equipped with the right tools and expertise to close the NHI security gap and govern this critical threat vector.

Customers interested in taking advantage of the partnership and closing the NHI gap are encouraged to schedule an assessment or reach out to learn more.
