"A massive wave of cyberattacks has now hit cloud native infrastructure, impacting most modern application environments," said Kevin Bocek, chief innovation officer at Venafi.
"To make matters worse, cybercriminals are deploying AI in various ways to gain unauthorized access and exploiting machine identities using service accounts on a growing scale. The volume, variety and velocity of machine identities are becoming an attacker's dream."
Nearly nine-in-ten security leaders said they believe that machine identities - specifically access tokens and their connected service accounts - are the next big target for attackers.
Three-quarters of security leaders agreed that humans are the weakest link in machine identity security, while 83% of teams say that failing to secure machine identities has serious implications.
