# Hydden — Identity Security Intelligence > Hydden gives security teams complete visibility into every identity — human, non-human, and machine — across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments. We correlate signals across IAM, PAM, IGA, and ISPM tools to surface the hidden identities and access paths that attackers exploit. ## About - Website: https://hydden.com - Resources hub: https://hydden.com/resources - Primary use cases: Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR), Non-Human Identity (NHI) security ## Blog Posts (57) ## Solutions - [Non-Human Identity (NHI) Governance](https://hydden.com/solutions/nhi): Machine identities outnumber humans 50-to-1.
