Frequently Asked Questions

NON-HUMAN IDENTITIES (NHI)

Non-human identities span the entire identity lifecycle:

  • Creation and governance (Administrator)
  • Monitoring and detection (Protector)
  • Rollback and recovery (Guardian)

Managing them in silos creates gaps. A unified platform ensures consistent visibility, control, and recovery.

Cayosoft unifies:

  • Governance — control creation, permissions, and lifecycle
  • Monitoring — detect changes and threats in real time
  • Recovery — roll back or restore identity state instantly

This ensures non-human identities are controlled before, during, and after incidents.

Yes. NHIs often:

  • Persist across backups
  • Carry embedded permissions or tokens
  • Reintroduce compromise after recovery

This makes them both a security risk and a recovery risk if not properly managed.

Cayosoft:

  • Monitors and tracks identity changes continuously
  • Enables rollback of risky NHI activity
  • Restores identity relationships cleanly

When combined with Instant Forest Recovery, environments can be validated before cutover, reducing the risk of reinfection.

Cayosoft preserves and restores full identity context, including:

  • App-to-identity relationships
  • Group memberships
  • Role assignments

This ensures applications and services resume securely after recovery or rollback.

Yes. Cayosoft treats AI agents and automation as first-class identities, providing:

  • Visibility into their actions
  • Control over permissions
  • Rollback of unintended or risky behavior

This enables safe adoption of AI without introducing unmanaged risk.

By combining governance, monitoring, and recovery in one platform, Cayosoft:

  • Prevents privilege creep
  • Detects misuse early
  • Enables instant correction

This reduces both security exposure and operational disruption.

Because non-human identities can execute changes at scale and speed.
Rollback allows organizations to instantly reverse widespread impact from scripts, integrations, or AI-driven actions.

Modern applications rely heavily on non-human identities.
Cayosoft ensures both human and non-human identity layers remain:

  • Available
  • Secure
  • Recoverable

This prevents outages, access failures, and cascading disruptions.

Point tools address only part of the problem.

Cayosoft delivers a unified identity resilience platform that:

  • Eliminates gaps between governance, monitoring, and recovery
  • Provides a single source of truth for all identity types
  • Enables consistent control across hybrid Microsoft environments
