🔐 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 🔐 Traditional security tools focus on specific infrastructures (Cloud, SaaS, etc.), but NHIs don’t stay in one place. NHIs move across platforms, while traditional security controls stay locked inside them. That’s a dangerous disconnect. The challenge: 🔹 Traditional tools like CSPM and SSPM focus on infrastructure, not the identities moving through it. 🔹 NHIs dynamically jump across environments, creating security blind spots. 🔹 Security policies break down at environment boundaries, leaving inconsistent protection. Clutch Security’s approach: 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗛𝗜 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 Clutch redefines NHI security by following the identity itself - securing it wherever it operates. 👀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Discover NHIs across cloud, SaaS, CI/CD, code, on-prem, and vaults. 🌍 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Secure NHIs across all platforms and environments. ✅ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Security travels with the identity, even as infrastructure changes.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗷-𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 By now, the recent tj-actions/changed-files compromise has been widely publicized. Just in case you missed it, this popular Action, which is used in more than 23,000 repositories, was compromised, and resulted in the exfiltration of secrets used within organizations' CI/CD pipelines. Attackers injected malicious code to expose sensitive credentials in the build logs, potentially leaking API keys, tokens, and other critical NHIs. Even worse, they tampered with multiple version tags, making detection even harder. While GitHub has now removed the action, the real question remains: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻? The maintainers of tj-actions still cannot confirm the exact attack vector, but did mention that all evidence points to a compromised 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 (𝗣𝗔𝗧). Was it a classic PAT? A Fine-Grained PAT (FGPAT)? The difference between the two is critical - GitHub does not log many operations performed using a Classic PAT. The lack of clear answers and the fog around trying to uncover what happened shows a bigger issue: Many vendors provide limited visibility into NHI activity, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (a major focus of our upcoming report - stay tuned!) So what can be done better? Consider these alternatives if you are still using PATs in your environment: ➡️ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗢𝗜𝗗𝗖 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗜/𝗖𝗗: GitHub Actions can issue ephemeral OIDC tokens, eliminating the need for stored credentials. ➡️ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀: These expire quickly (typically within an hour), reducing exposure. ➡️ 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀: No pipeline should be inherently trusted - continuous validation is key, even for the most internal areas in your environment. Incidents like this reinforce the need for a 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗛𝗜 security. NHIs are the backbone of modern enterprises, but without better controls, they remain an easy target. #NHI #NHISecurity #GitHubAction #ZeroTrust #OIDC

🤼 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 🤼 When security teams lack the tools to act independently, risks stay exposed longer, incident response slows, productivity across teams takes a hit, and the entire business feels the friction. Security needs to move at the speed of threats — not the speed of internal handoffs. The challenge: 🔹 Security teams rely on IT & Engineering to manage NHIs and apply critical controls. 🔹 This creates delays in risk mitigation and slows incident response. 🔹 Security teams need direct control to enforce policies without friction. Clutch Security’s approach: 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 Clutch removes cross-team dependencies, giving security teams the power to implement and manage NHI controls autonomously — using Zero Trust and Ephemeral Identities to enhance security at machine speed. ⚡ 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Security teams can enforce policies without IT or DevOps. 🔄 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Automated workflows accelerate response times. 🛠 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 – Implement, monitor, and manage security without bottlenecks.

👜 𝗔 𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 👜 Vaults are a critical component in security, but they only store secrets. They don’t detect misuse, don’t analyze behavior, and don’t provide context on how NHIs are being used. The challenge: 🔹 Vaults secure secrets, but can’t detect threats. 🔹 NHIs exist and operate outside vaults, leaving blind spots in security. 🔹 No real-time analytics means security teams lack visibility into misuse. Clutch Security’s approach: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗛𝗜𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 NHI security goes beyond just storing secrets - it requires continuous monitoring and protection of NHIs across all environments, both inside and outside vaults. 👀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Know who, where, and how NHIs are being used. 📊 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 – Detect anomalies and stop threats in real-time. 🔐 𝗡𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗲 – Prevent attacks with Zero Trust controls, continuously validating every interaction.

🤝 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 🤝 NHIs often operate with almost no guardrails — running from anywhere, without proper validation. That’s a massive security gap. If security teams don’t establish trust in where, how, and when NHIs are used, attackers will find those blind spots first. The core problem: 🔹 NHIs lack built-in controls or restrictions, making them easy targets. 🔹 NHIs are scattered across environments, leading to fragmented security. 🔹 Security teams have limited visibility into who is using NHIs and how they’re being used. 💡Clutch Security’s Approach: 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗡𝗛𝗜 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 Instead of assuming NHIs can be trusted by default, Clutch applies Zero Trust validation to every interaction — ensuring only verified and properly used NHIs can operate. 🔐 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 - Every NHI is validated before it’s allowed to run. 🔎 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Clutch attributes who, where, and how NHIs are being used. ✅ 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 – Only verified NHIs can interact with your critical assets.
