Services and jobs, first-class identities.
Most breaches that pivot do so through machine credentials — static API keys with broad scope, no expiry, and no binding. B5 Secure makes every service, job, and integration a first-class identity: scoped, signed, network-bound, and revocable, governed by the same pipeline as human users.
The challenge
Service-to-service auth is too often a shared secret in an environment variable, usable from anywhere, forever. There is no least-privilege, no signing, and no fast way to revoke when one leaks.
The Never Trust answer
Machine identities run the full pipeline: scoped service keys, signed requests, per-identity network binding, and instant revocation — the same Never Trust guarantees humans get.
Four controls for non-human identities
First-class machine identity
Services, jobs, and integrations are modeled as identities with their own permits — not anonymous shared keys.
Scoped, least-privilege keys
A service key grants only the endpoints and records an integration needs — the blast radius of a leak is small.
Signed machine-to-machine calls
Service-HMAC signs every call with timestamp and nonce, so a captured or altered request fails.
Network-bound & revocable
Keys are bound to allow-listed networks and killed in near-real-time on a leak signal via CAE.
Stop the pivot at the machine credential.
Give every service and job a scoped, signed, revocable identity on the platform behind $15B+ in custody.
