Case Study: Workday strengthens non-human identity security with Astrix Security

Workday secures non-human identities in 3 years with Astrix

Workday, a major enterprise software company, faced significant security challenges due to the proliferation of non-human identities (NHIs) like service accounts and OAuth tokens. These NHIs created blind spots and posed a substantial risk as they operated without proper ownership or lifecycle management, especially with the rise of autonomous AI agents. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Astrix Security and its NHI security platform.

Astrix provided a central control plane for NHI security, offering Workday complete visibility and governance over all its non-human identities. The solution enabled them to discover, map, and manage the lifecycle of every NHI, tying each one to a human owner and applying security policies like expiration rules. This proactive approach from Astrix significantly improved Workday's security posture by preventing potential breaches and eliminating unmanaged "zombie credentials."
