Protect identities with intelligent authorization controls
Protect identities with intelligent authorization controls

The number of human and non-human identities in organizations is growing rapidly, and sooner or later each of these identities will need access to critical resources. This makes them extremely attractive to cybercriminals. The days when only a few administrators had extensive permissions in company IT infrastructures are long gone. Most employees, applications and devices now also require such rights in order to access critical resources that they need in their everyday work. The classic definition of privileged identities therefore no longer applies, because ultimately every identity can be privileged and requires…

Everyone knows it: Creating a new password is an annoying process because, for example, it has to be at least eight characters long and contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. But it's a necessary evil since passwords are still one of the most popular targets for attackers...

AI threatens cybersecurity
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

With the help of AI, cyber threats are taking on a new form. Criminals use this to target identities and bypass authentication mechanisms. These are all new AI attack vectors. Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting modern society at an unprecedented pace. ChatGPT and other generative AI tools offer many advantages, but they can also be used by attackers and thus cause a lot of damage. CyberArk Labs has now examined this evolving threat landscape to better understand what new AI attack vectors mean for identity security programs and to help develop new defense strategies...

Authorization controls for identities strengthen cyber security
Authorization controls for identities strengthen cyber security

As the number of identities in organizations continues to grow, so do identity-related attacks. Companies are faced with a dynamic growth of identities: both machines and people. There are currently 45 machine identities for every human identity. In 2023, the total number of identities is expected to at least double. Parallel to this development, the number of identity-related attacks – for example using ransomware or phishing – is also increasing dramatically. Security concepts for digital identities How can a company get this complex situation under control? The answer is: with a…

Identity-related risks are increasing
Identity-related risks are increasing

The new global study "2023 Identity Security Threat Landscape" shows that identity-based cybersecurity risks continue to rise. The reasons for this are, on the one hand, the difficult economic conditions and, on the other hand, the pace of technological innovation, including the dynamic development of artificial intelligence (AI). Businesses continue to drive digital and cloud initiatives. Failure to invest adequately in cybersecurity will quickly result in a larger, unsecured, identity-centric attack surface. CyberArk's Identity Security Threat Landscape Report takes stock. Developments in Germany Almost all respondents (99%) expect an increase in identity-related risks...
