In the fast-evolving world of cybersecurity, Non-Human Identities have become both the lifeblood of modern IT operations and one of their greatest vulnerabilities. Attackers aren’t waiting for organizations to catch up - they’re exploiting leaked NHIs within minutes, leveraging the tools that power automation and scalability against the organizations that rely on them.

Enter Clutch Security and Tines, a partnership designed to flip the script. By combining Clutch’s industry-leading NHI security platform with Tines’ AI-enhanced workflow orchestration and automation , we’re giving security teams the edge they need to outpace attackers and secure the critical assets driving digital transformation.

This isn’t just about incremental improvements; it’s a leap forward in how SOCs manage and secure NHIs, enabling proactive defense, rapid response, and Zero Trust-aligned security at scale. Let’s explore what makes this partnership a game-changer.

Why This Partnership Matters

Managing NHIs - often fragmented and highly privileged - is a daunting task for security teams already stretched thin. Traditional manual processes for detecting and mitigating NHI risks are no longer sustainable. SOCs require intelligent automation to stay ahead of threats, minimize human error, and scale security operations. That’s where the Clutch-Tines partnership comes in.

The Clutch-Tines partnership empowers security teams to secure and manage NHIs with greater efficiency and agility. Together, we tackle some of the biggest challenges facing modern security operations:

  • Streamlined Visibility Across Environments: NHIs are often scattered across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises systems, creating oversight gaps. The partnership bridges these silos by combining Clutch’s contextualized NHI inventory with Tines’ workflow orchestration and automation , delivering a unified, actionable view that drives swift and effective decision-making.
  • Automated Risk Reduction: Leveraging Tines’ orchestration and automation capabilities, organizations can operationalize Clutch’s NHI Threat Detection and Response (NHI-TDR) to:
    • Address overprivileged identities that increase the attack surface.
    • Detect and mitigate anomalous behavior signaling potential misuse.
  • Accelerated Response Times: The integration enables instant containment and remediation, reducing response times from hours to seconds.
  • Zero Trust at Scale: Clutch’s Zero Trust platform ensures continuous validation and facilitates the adoption of ephemeral identities, minimizing attack surfaces and exposure windows.

How Clutch and Tines Work Together

Here’s how the integration empowers security teams:

  1. Automated Risk Actions: When Clutch identifies overprivileged NHI, Tines automatically triggers workflows to notify the owner and enforce least privilege policy.
  2. Real-Time Anomaly Response: Clutch flags unusual NHI behavior, and Tines automates immediate containment actions - triggers workflows to isolate the issue, notify stakeholders, and revoke access.
  3. Seamless Workflow Integration: Clutch’s NHI data integrates into Tines’ no-code platform, enabling tailored automation workflows for organization-specific needs.

Example Use Case:
A secret embedded in source code is accidentally pushed to a public repository. Attackers notice it and attempt to exploit it. Without the right tools, they could infiltrate the organization within minutes.

With Clutch and Tines:

  • Detection: Clutch's Threat Detection and Response mechanisms (NHI-TDR) identify anomalies in secret access attempts, flagging them as suspicious behavior.
  • Automation: Tines triggers a remediation playbook to revoke the credential, notify the team, and enforce least-privilege access.
  • Resolution: The threat is contained automatically, preventing exploitation.

This seamless integration allows security teams to shift their focus from manual firefighting to strategic initiatives.

Key Outcomes for Security Teams

  • Simplified Operations: Automate and streamline NHI security within your SOC by contextualizing Clutch’s NHI data into Tines workflows.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Break silos by integrating NHI management across security, IT, and DevOps while dynamically enforcing least-privilege policies.
  • Future-Ready Security: Leverage Zero Trust-aligned automation and transition to ephemeral identities to stay ahead of evolving threats.
