A new global report released today shows how the tension between difficult economic conditions and the pace of technology innovation, including the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), is influencing the growth of identity-led cybersecurity exposure. The CyberArk 2023 Identity Security Threat Landscape Report details how these issues —
allied to an expected 240% growth in human and machine identities —
have the potential to result in a compounding of "cyber debt": where investment in digital and cloud initiatives outpaces cybersecurity spend, creating a rapidly expanding and unsecured identity-centric attack surface.
The report is a result of a worldwide survey across private and public sector organizations of 500 employees and above conducted by market researchers Vanson Bourne amongst 2,300 cybersecurity decision makers. Respondents were based in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, U.S., France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Australia, India, Israel, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.
