Machine identities outnumber humans 40,000 to one

Are you ready to welcome our new machine overlords? Okay, that might be a bit drastic, but the latest report from Sysdig reveals that there are now 40,000x more machine identities than human identities. This has led to a greatly expanded attack surface as machine IDs are 7.5 times more risky, a dangerous liability given that nearly 40 percent of breaches start with credential exploitation. Fortunately, there are some positive findings too. The report shows that workloads using AI and machine learning (ML) packages grew by 500 percent over the last year, with the percentage of generative AI packages in… [Continue Reading]
