The rise in identities, cloud migration, and sophisticated attacks have led to a surge in identity-based cyberattacks. Experts suggest that with more identities, organizations can achieve more with less.
Sunil Patel of Accenture advises using "just-in-time" identity creation to eliminate threats. Matt Girdharry from AWS highlights the need to secure both human and machine identities. Brandon Traffanstedt of CyberArk notes the importance of prioritizing identities, coining the term "Skittle-sorting conundrum."
In their RSA Conference 2024 interview, Patel, Girdharry, and Traffanstedt discuss how attackers now log in instead of hacking, the use of generative AI in identity security, and the need for every identity to access data across diverse resources.
