The Importance of Identity Security

The growing number of machine identities in comparison to human identities highlights the need for robust identity security. With 45 machine identities for every human identity, there exists a significant risk of breaches, particularly as 68% of these machine identities possess some level of sensitive access. This shift from perimeter security to identity-based security emphasizes that identities, both human and machine, are the new perimeter in cybersecurity. Organizations must adapt to this new landscape to effectively protect their sensitive resources and mitigate potential threats.
