"Organizations in the Benelux stand out favorably in global trends in cloud-native security. With higher cloud adoption, improved identity management, and greater automation, the region appears relatively mature. This is evident from new research by Sysdig. In terms of identity security, our region scores significantly better than the rest of the world. While 60 percent of organizations worldwide handle service accounts in a risky manner, that percentage is 44 percent in the Benelux."
"These figures indicate strict adherence to best practices, such as least-privilege and zero-trust principles. The pressure from GDPR and NIS2 appears to be effective. In 61 percent of Benelux organizations, users do not have direct access to cloud providers. This suggests using SSO authentication or other centralization solutions. Worldwide, that percentage is only 15 percent. By using central identity control, companies reduce their attack surface and make privilege escalation more difficult."
Organizations in the Benelux exhibit relatively mature cloud-native security driven by higher cloud adoption, improved identity management, and greater automation. Identity security is stronger: only 44% of Benelux organizations handle service accounts riskily versus 60% worldwide, and the region reports no risky users compared with 8% globally. Sixty-one percent of Benelux organizations prevent direct user access to cloud providers, implying centralized SSO and reduced attack surface. Cloud adoption reaches about 86% with 62% using a single cloud provider; multicloud and hybrid setups are 9.5% and 14.3% respectively. Fourteen percent automate incident response versus 11% globally. Early 2025 caution around GenAI persisted while 45% worldwide used GenAI in December 2024.
