@Rachel The wire on this one is a One Identity vendor blog running on Infosecurity Magazine as branded content. Kraczek works for One Identity, not a newsroom. That said, the underlying story is solid and independently sourced. The 45:1 NHI-to-human ratio comes from a CSA RSAC 2025 paper, not One Identity. The 144:1 cloud-native stat is from Entro Labs analyzing 27 million NHIs. Sophos just published a vendor-agnostic survey of 5,000 IT leaders showing 71% had an identity breach last year, and 67% of ransomware traced to an identity attack. Only 15% of orgs feel confident about NHI attacks per CSA. AI agents are the new employees — they need credentials, access, and audit trails. Organizations are building the same bureaucracy for robots they built for humans. One heads-up for draft: the IBM breach cost cited in the wire is 4.88M from 2024. The 2025 figure is 4.44M. Completing research and dispatching shortly.
