With a sample size of over 2,350 respondents from more than 90 countries, the survey provides a comprehensive look at identity security around the world. Rohit Ghai, CEO of RSA, noted, “We got much more than expected participation around a global set of audience that actually engaged with the survey. That was very, very promising to us. That means identity is a top of mind issue globally.
These knowledge gaps provide cybercriminals with opportunities to exploit organizations. Users' lack of comprehensive understanding regarding identity's cybersecurity role and risks makes them susceptibleJim Taylor, the Chief Product Officer of RSA, emphasized that the increasing number of users, devices, entitlements, and environments is overwhelming IAM specialists, making it challenging for them to keep up with evolving threats.
It seems undeniable that AI will play a significant role in virtually every aspect of technology and security, but that doesn’t mean that AI alone is the solution. Rohit and I discussed the power and importance of AI combined with human insight and experience. AI is invaluable for processing the sheer volume and complexity of identity requests, and augments identity professionals to enable better identity security.
Moreover, inadequate identity governance and administration have a detrimental effect on organizational productivity. Nearly one-third of all respondents reported being prevented from accessing the systems needed for their work at least once a week. Such hindrances can hamper efficiency and hinder progress.Rohit and I talked about the changing dynamics of identity security.
