CyberArk News, Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025
More than two-thirds of organizations unprepared for threats targeting AI; Machine identities - most with unsecured access - are skyrocketing, increasing enterprise risk
CyberArk announced the release of the 2025 Identity Security Landscape, an international study revealing how organizations are inadvertently creating a new identity-centric attack surface through growing use of AI and cloud.
The report shows that machine identities are mostly unknown and uncontrolled within organizations, while the primary roadblocks to Agentic AI adoption involve security concerns around external manipulation and sensitive access, signposting the emergence of a new and potent identity security challenge.
