Sentyn is an ownership-first machine identity security console. It discovers IAM roles, service accounts, tokens, and automation identities read-only, assigns owners with evidence, maps blast radius, and exports audit-ready proof without storing raw secrets.

What problem does Sentyn solve?

Organizations inherit thousands of machine identities with unclear owners, excessive privilege, and no evidence trail for auditors. Sentyn names identities, surfaces unknown owners as findings, and packages proof in the same workflow security teams use to triage risk.

How is Sentyn different from a secrets manager?

Secrets managers store and rotate credentials. Sentyn inventories and governs machine identities across cloud and CI/CD, stores only redacted evidence, and never replaces HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or CyberArk vault functions.

Which connectors are production-ready?

AWS IAM and GitHub ship with production maturity labels in Sentyn. Vercel, Supabase, and Cloudflare are available as read-only platform connectors. Azure Entra, Kubernetes, GCP IAM, and others carry explicit beta or planned labels tied to backend proof tests.

Does Sentyn write to cloud providers?

No. Discovery connectors are read-only. Remediation remains preview-only in P0 with explicit human approval before any future write automation.

What evidence does Sentyn export for audits?

Inventory snapshots, ownership status, finding evidence panels, relationship graph metadata, and append-only audit events. Exports are tenant-scoped and redacted.

What is machine identity security?

Machine identity security governs non-human credentials and automation principals: IAM roles, service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, CI tokens, and workload identities. It covers inventory, ownership, least privilege, blast radius, and lifecycle accountability.

Cloud security, identity engineering, platform security, and GRC teams at organizations with AWS and GitHub footprints who need owner coverage metrics and audit evidence, not another alert feed.

Public positioning summary for buyers comparing NHI platforms. What Sentyn ships today versus deferred capabilities.

Research narrative by Het Mehta, Research and product narrative. Sources are public competitor reports, vendor documentation, and official incident disclosures.

Sentyn is original software. This section summarizes publicly confirmed competitor positioning for buyer education, not product parity claims.

Entro Security

NHIs, secrets, and AI agent governance with NHIDR behavioral detection and broad non-code discovery.

Public positioning

Unified platform for agents, NHIs, and secrets
Ownership attribution and lineage graph
H1 2025 research on 27M+ NHIs analyzed

Sentyn scope today

Sentyn P0 is read-only discovery, deterministic findings, ownership evidence, and audit export. We do not ship NHIDR or autonomous remediation in MVP.

Oasis Security

NHI Security Cloud and Agentic Access Management across hybrid cloud and SaaS.

Public positioning

Inventory, enrichment, ownership, posture, and remediation lifecycle
Agentic access management for intent-based controls
Fortune 1000 scale discovery outcomes in public case studies

Sentyn scope today

Sentyn focuses ownership-first inventory and evidence before alerts for AWS IAM and GitHub P0. Agentic runtime controls are deferred.

CyberArk

Machine identity security platform spanning secrets, certificates, and workload identities, expanded via Venafi.

Public positioning

End-to-end machine identity lifecycle
Secrets Hub for cloud vault aggregation
Public research on machine-to-human identity ratios

Sentyn scope today

Sentyn is not a vault or PAM replacement. We govern discovery, ownership, and audit evidence without storing raw secrets.
