As the volume and complexity of NHIs grow—driven by the rapid adoption of cloud platforms, generative AI, SaaS applications, and increasingly automated systems—maintaining control over these identities is critical to safeguarding enterprise infrastructures. These advancements not only increase the number of NHIs exponentially but also amplify their interconnectedness, privileges, and potential attack surface. Addressing this requires a proactive, holistic approach that integrates visibility, governance, and Zero Trust principles, ensuring every identity is secured, monitored, and managed effectively. However, this cannot be done in isolation.

Clutch Security Workflows offers a robust solution for managing and automating security processes, enabling teams to adapt responses to their unique needs and integrate seamlessly with a wide range of tools. Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Torq, making it simpler and more efficient to secure, manage, and mitigate NHI risks as part of your SOC automation strategy.

Transforming NHI Security Through Integration

The Clutch-Torq partnership is designed to address some of the most persistent challenges in NHI security:

  • Fragmentation Across Environments: NHIs often span diverse platforms, leading to visibility gaps and governance issues. By integrating Clutch’s universal NHI security platform with Torq’s autonomous SOC, teams can consolidate oversight, eliminating silos and operationalizing identity management tasks.
  • Risk Reduction with Automation: Leveraging Torq's AI-native orchestration and Clutch’s intelligent workflows, security teams can automatically detect and remediate risks such as:
    • Anomalous activity signaling potential misuse of NHIs.
    • Over-permissioned NHIs that increase the attack surface.

Clutch’s NHI Threat Detection and Response (NHI-TDR) capabilities enable immediate detection and swift mitigation of threats associated with NHIs. These capabilities address the rising prevalence of NHI-based attacks and the high likelihood of credential leaks, which attackers can exploit with alarming speed (for deeper insights, explore our research, where we tested the pace of attacker response by leaking credentials across various platforms.)

These capabilities span the full lifecycle of incident management:

  • Preparedness Through Telemetry Collection: Aggregates logs, configurations, and other telemetry for comprehensive analysis and investigation, ensuring visibility into critical NHI activities.
  • Out-of-the-Box Detection Rules: Includes a rich library of pre-configured detection rules tailored to identify suspicious or anomalous NHI behavior.
  • Built-In Response Functionality: Provides integrated tools for rapid containment and resolution, enabling security teams to mitigate threats within minutes.

Now, these capabilities are seamlessly integrated with Torq, allowing security teams to automatically respond to NHI-related threats using remediation playbooks that transform insights into action. This integration enables instantaneous action and immediate threat resolution, eliminating the need to navigate across multiple toolsets.

Clutch and Torq in Action: How the Integration Works

Imagine this: an API key for a cloud application is accidentally embedded in code and pushed to a public repository. Without the right tools, attackers could exploit this exposure within minutes, leaving security teams scrambling to respond. With Clutch and Torq, detection, containment, and remediation happen automatically, stopping the threat before it causes harm.

Torq is revolutionizing cybersecurity with its autonomous SOC powered by Hyperautomation, connecting disparate tools to streamline complex processes. From rapid security event remediation to sophisticated orchestration across infrastructures, Torq empowers enterprises to operate at scale. By combining this expertise with Clutch’s identity-centric security model, organizations can unlock new levels of operational efficiency and resilience against emerging threats.

Driving Key Outcomes for Security Teams

  1. Simplified Operations: Automatically ingest and contextualize Clutch’s NHI inventory into Torq workflows, enabling real-time decision-making. Automate and streamline identity security and management processes directly within your SOC workflows.
  2. Enhanced Collaboration: Bridge the gap between IT, DevOps, and security teams by integrating identity management into shared platforms. Dynamically enforce least-privilege policies for NHIs with automated remediation to ensure alignment across teams.
  3. Accelerated Incident Response: Detect NHI misuse through Clutch’s powerful detection capabilities, then trigger Torq workflows to instantly contain and remediate threats, reducing response times from hours to seconds.
  4. Future-Ready Security: Transition seamlessly to ephemeral identities, eliminating static secrets without operational friction, and ensuring your NHIs always align with Zero Trust principles to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Together, Clutch and Torq empower security teams with the tools and automation they need to secure NHIs effectively, enabling teams to focus on what matters most.
