Ah, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is finally here. Since 2004, this month-long focus has reminded tech wizards and newbies alike that it’s probably a good idea to change your passwords more than once a year. A new global research report from CyberArk* dug into the data and learned “siloed approaches to securing human and machine identities are driving identity-based attacks across enterprises and their ecosystems.” Here are some interesting data security stats that might scare you out of your Halloween costume: • 93% of organizations had two or more identity-related breaches in the past year. • Machine identities are the #1 cause of identity growth and are considered by respondents to be the riskiest identity type. • 61% of organizations define a privileged user as human-only. Only 38% of organizations define all human and machine identities with sensitive access as privileged users.
