The explosion of non-human identities in public cloud deployments has decision makers turning to new identity and access management tools to keep their environments secure, according to a new study performed by Forrester Consulting for Sonrai Security and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The study released Thursday found that more than half the 154 North American IT and security decision makers surveyed for the report acknowledged that they were struggling with machine and non-people identities running rampant in the cloud.
“When you secure stuff in the traditional data center model, you form networks, which form the perimeter for the model,” Sonrai CISO Eric Kedrosky tells CSO. “In the cloud, those networks disappear, and identities become central to securing the cloud.”
