A recent report by Morgan Stanley highlights significant concerns regarding cybersecurity as organizations anticipate a dramatic increase in digital identities. According to the report, 47% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) expect more than three times the current number of identities by 2025. This surge in identities raises the need for enhanced security measures, particularly as machine identities, including access tokens and service accounts, are identified as the next major targets for cyberattacks. Experts emphasize the importance of integrating application security (AppSec) into security assessments to better simulate real-world threats and uncover vulnerabilities. As breaches continue to impact the cybersecurity landscape, identity and access management (IAM) has emerged as a critical defense mechanism, with industry leaders stressing that resilience against attacks is heavily reliant on effective identity management.
