Agentic AI can enhance the scalability of NHI and secrets management by autonomously monitoring threats, rotating secrets, enforcing policies, and adapting to evolving workloads. Key benefits of effective NHI management include reduced breach risk, improved compliance, operational efficiency, and cost savings. The post also covers best practices such as regular audits, role-based access controls, and cross-team collaboration between security and R&D, with sector-specific considerations for finance, healthcare, and travel. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
