As enterprises enter a new year, they must acknowledge that outdated perimeter-based security models are inadequate. Today's digital landscape is characterized by complex interactions among service accounts, APIs, and machine identities, requiring a transition to an asset-centric security framework. Findings reveal that non-human identities now vastly outnumber human users, each posing unique access risks to critical assets. Alarmingly, many organizations fail to recognize the extent of this risk, with numerous service accounts languishing unchanged for decades and unmonitored access continuing to expose sensitive systems to attacks that can exploit these accounts at machine speed.
Organizations face a critical challenge with traditional perimeter security. As assets evolve, the focus must shift to managing dynamic identities and machine identities behind the scenes.
With 40 non-human identities for every human user, neglecting asset-centric security leaves organizations vulnerable to machine-speed attacks, potentially inviting catastrophic breaches.
