What Is an NHI Center of Excellence?

Not a committee. A control system.

Need NHI governance? Unite people, processes and technology through an NHI Center of Excellence for ultimate IAM, IGA and PAM consolidation and auditable control.

NHI defined: Any digital identity not tied to a person — service accounts, workloads, API keys or machine agents.
