OpenText has rolled out its Core Identity Foundation, designed to enable customers to unify identity and access across on-prem, cloud and legacy environments without the need for infrastructure overhauls.
The SaaS platform offers zero trust controls which enforce least-privilege access by managing all edge identity stores across disparate environments.
The company also launched OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights, providing advanced encryption and data protection for sensitive and regulated data across its lifecycle, as well as OpenText Application Security Aviator, providing AI-powered auto-remediation during application testing and aiming to reduce security debt and improve DevSecOps velocity.
George Harb, VP of ANZ at OpenText said Australian organisations want to move fast with AI, but not at the expense of security.
"Traditional identity programs were built around people, they incorporate structured onboarding, defined roles, periodic reviews, and clear accountability to manage human users through the cycle of their access and responsibilities within the enterprise,” Harb said.
"But non-human identities (NHIs) such as AI agents, are often overlooked by these governance processes. They persist quietly in the background, are often provisioned as part of administrative activities to keep systems running and are often granted long-term credentials with elevated permissions – providing rich targets for attackers.
"As with human identities, there are best practices, such as least-privilege permission assignments and frequent credential rotation, that can help better secure the use of these NHIs. Applying appropriate governance processes to the creation, daily use, and ongoing maintenance of these NHIs can help ensure secure automation and more effective control."
OpenText now services 2,000 Australian and New Zealand organisations across public and enterprise sectors with solutions designed for secure information management for AI.
