Attention CISOs: Closing Your Identity Protection Gaps Is Urgent
Silverfort, Thursday, September 7,2023
Here's something that won't be news to you: The identity attack surface is exposed to attacks. But what about your own organization? Do you know where your specific protection gaps are?
A new report released by Osterman Research, entitled 'The State of the Identity Attack Surface,' reveals the full extent of where today's cybersecurity measures are falling short. For example, solutions that have aimed to deliver real-time prevention of malicious access using compromised credentials - specifically multi-factor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM) - are insufficiently deployed.
The report shows, in fact, that the vast majority of organizations have only a portion of their users and resources covered. Additionally, most organizations are still lacking full visibility into (not to mention protection of) the service accounts in their environment.
