The report, ‘Identity Crisis: Understanding & Building Resilience Against Identity-Driven Threats,’ highlights that 89% of organizations have incorporated AI agents into their identity infrastructure, predicting that agentic AI will drive a significant portion of cyberattacks. With non-human identities now vastly outnumbering human users, ensuring their security has become critical. Traditional security measures are proving insufficient as organizations adapt to cloud environments and remote work practices, leading to an escalation of identity-driven attacks that exploit valid credentials rather than circumventing defenses.
Experts warn that the landscape of cybersecurity has changed dramatically, necessitating modern identity and access management (IAM) practices. The research reveals that simply implementing technological solutions is insufficient; it requires an understanding of human behavior and organizational processes. The balance between human and non-human identity management must be bridged under a cohesive strategy, as the risks associated with AI agents are unprecedented. Organizations must recognize the changing dynamics and adapt their defense strategies accordingly, focusing on comprehensive identity resilience to combat this emerging threat.
