The machine identity problems teams actually get asked about
Each area produces ranked findings with the ownership context to act, and maps to the controls you report against.
Orphaned credentials
Access keys and service accounts with no owner and no recent activity still hold live permissions. Avistar surfaces them with the evidence needed to retire them safely.
Over privileged service accounts
Compare granted privilege with observed usage and reduce standing access to what the workload actually exercises.
AI agent sprawl
Agents and automations acquire credentials outside the human access review cycle. They are inventoried, attributed, and scored like any other identity.
CI/CD and integration tokens
Pipeline tokens and cross account roles are frequently long lived and broadly scoped. Track them, tie them to a pipeline owner, and rotate on policy.
Rotation hygiene
Long lived secrets tracked against your rotation policy, with rotation driven from the finding rather than a separate runbook.
Audit evidence
Inventory, ownership, and remediation history export as evidence, so preparing for an assessment is a report rather than a project.
Start with the gap you already suspect
A single client gap assessment scopes one cloud environment and returns a ranked machine identity inventory.
