NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

At Clutch Security, we’ve built the category-defining platform for securing Non-Human Identities that power the modern enterprise but remain largely unprotected. Our Universal NHI Security Platform delivers complete visibility, deep context through our patented Identity Lineage™ technology, proactive Zero Trust protections, and seamless lifecycle management across cloud, SaaS, CI/CD, on-prem, and more.

The results speak for themselves. In less than a year, we’ve achieved extreme business traction: a >90% Proof-of-Concept win rate, Net Promoter Score above 80, and deployments in some of the world’s largest and most complex enterprises, including NTT Data with over 75,000 employees. Our platform is designed for speed and impact, and customers are seeing value within hours, not months, without friction or disruption to business velocity.

We hold an official U.S. patent for Identity Lineage™, a groundbreaking capability that maps each NHI’s full ecosystem – origin, people, storage, consumers, and the resources it can access. This context is a game-changer, allowing security teams to instantly understand risk, prioritize remediation, and harden their environment without guesswork.

In 2024, we published industry-shaping research debunking the long-standing “rotate secrets frequently” mantra, proving through controlled experiments that attackers often exploit exposed credentials in minutes – rendering rotation alone meaningless. This research, alongside our Contextual Secret Scanning and Zero Trust protections, is influencing how the industry thinks about securing NHIs.

Clutch is not just solving a technical problem, we are addressing a massive and urgent security gap. NHIs now outnumber human identities by 82 to 1, often hold mission-critical privileges, and span fragmented environments with no inherent security controls. Our platform turns that chaos into clarity, enabling enterprises to:
Discover every NHI across all terrains in hours.
See its complete lineage and real-world risk instantly.
Reduce the attack surface with precision, not guesswork.
Detect and respond to misuse in real time.
Transition from static credentials to ephemeral, secretless architectures.

This category is still emerging, but the market is validating our leadership every day – in adoption, in customer satisfaction, and in our measurable security outcomes. Clutch Security is not just the best Non-Human Identity Management Solution, but we are redefining what that category means.
