BeyondTrust’s annual predictions for cybersecurity emphasize a critical change in the landscape for the coming year. It points to a scenario where traditional defenses are likely to falter and new forms of attacks will become prominent. The concept of ‘identity debt’ stands out, particularly the unmanaged identities that result from past breaches.
The future of cybersecurity will not pivot on conventional threats such as phishing but rather on the underlying vulnerabilities created by legacy identities and privilege sprawl. Organizations are urged to recognize and address these dormant threats that could lead to severe breaches if left unmitigated. As more new identities are created without adequate management, the risks associated with identity mismanagement will only increase, necessitating a stronger focus on Identity Access Management (IAM) strategies.
