Anetac, a leading provider of identity vulnerability management solutions, has announced the global launch of Human Link Pro, a new feature that extends its platform's capabilities to manage both human and non-human identity vulnerabilities. This enhancement is designed to address the growing complexity and security risks associated with identity sprawl in hybrid environments. Identity sprawl, which occurs as organizations expand their workforce and incorporate various roles, including permanent and non-permanent staff, contractors, partners, and suppliers, leads to significant security blind spots. Traditional static and siloed tools often fail to monitor these vulnerabilities effectively, leaving companies exposed to unauthorized access, credential compromises, and privilege escalation. Human Link Pro aims to eliminate this fragmentation by integrating comprehensive protection for all identity types. Key features of Human Link Pro include: Behavioral Anomaly Detection: Uses AI to identify unusual activities that may indicate compromised credentials. Compromised Credentials Monitoring: Actively checks for signs of password breaches and other credential threats. Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) Gap Analysis: Ensures that the processes for onboarding, changing roles, and offboarding are properly managed to prevent orphaned or dormant accounts. Unconstrained Delegation and Inherited Permissions Tracking: Monitors and mitigates risks related to excessive or indirect access rights. Real-Time Insights: Continuously analyzes the entire identity landscape to provide up-to-date information on vulnerabilities and the identity lifecycle. These capabilities are crucial in addressing the current market challenges. For example, economic pressures are leading to widespread workforce reductions, particularly among contractors and third-party vendors, which strain JML processes and lead to a higher number of orphaned accounts and unchecked privilege escalation. In traditional systems, these gaps in the access lifecycle create opportunities for unauthorized access and exploitation. Anetac has already identified significant identity-based vulnerabilities across various industries: Retail: A retailer with over 30,000 employees found more than 1,800 dormant human accounts and hundreds of personal external accounts, primarily linked to seasonal staff. Limited visibility into third-party merchandising team access also created critical security gaps. Financial Services: A global financial institution with 50,000 employees had user passwords that hadn't been updated in over 15 years and over 12,000 high-privilege accounts, some of which were dormant or unused. Healthcare: In a large healthcare system, 74% of user passwords were older than 45 days, and 18% of users, including locum doctors and temporary clinical staff, were dormant. Critical Infrastructure: An organization with over 10,000 identities identified high-risk scenarios like shared credentials, persistent third-party access, and unconstrained delegation, which significantly increased the risk of lateral movement attacks during shift rotations and contractor de-provisioning. Early adopters of Human Link Pro have seen tangible benefits. One retail organization with numerous storefronts noted improved visibility across both Active Directory and Entra ID environments, enabling better monitoring of identity access changes, particularly in Joiner, Mover, and Leaver workflows. This is crucial in retail, where workforce dynamics are highly volatile due to seasonal staff and frequent contractor turnover. Industry experts recognize the significance of Human Link Pro. According to Jimmy Merlo, VP Client Services & Technology Advisory at NXGN.io, "In fast-paced, distributed environments, identity hygiene breaks down quickly without continuous visibility. With Human Link Pro, organizations can finally close the loop on human access risks, especially in environments with high churn, complex vendor relationships, and fragmented identity sources. It’s a game changer for teams that have long struggled to track privilege shifts and inherited access across both human and machine identities." Baber Amin, Anetac’s Chief Product Officer, emphasizes the importance of real-time visibility and proactive risk management. "Human accounts are one of the most exploited pathways in enterprise breaches, yet traditional security approaches fail to address the complex relationships between identities and resources," he says. "Human Link Pro addresses this critical gap by uncovering exploitable access chains, inherited permissions, and privilege escalation paths specific to human identities. By embedding AI at the core of the platform, we’re empowering organizations to proactively discover and eliminate real-world exploit paths—not just theoretical risks—before attackers can take advantage." Human Link Pro integrates seamlessly with Anetac's existing platform, providing unified visibility that helps security teams identify vulnerabilities across their entire identity ecosystem. This is particularly beneficial in sectors with stringent regulatory compliance requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government. The platform's innovative AI-powered real-time Access Chains technology reveals indirect access paths that static tools often overlook, offering unprecedented insight into privilege escalation risks. To experience Human Link Pro firsthand, security professionals can connect with Anetac at the RSA 2025 Conference in San Francisco (April 28-May 1). Anetac will host demonstrations and discussions at ZOE Cocktail Bar & Bites (579 Howard Street) and a Security Leaders Party on April 28. Anetac executives will be available for media and analyst briefings throughout the conference. Founded in 2023, Anetac is headquartered in Los Altos, California. The company's Identity Vulnerability Management Platform has been recognized for its continuous, AI-driven, real-time visibility, replacing the limitations of static scanning tools with a dynamic, streaming-based approach. This platform helps organizations efficiently manage and mitigate identity-based vulnerabilities at scale, ensuring robust and proactive security in both on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
