Delinea, a leading provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions, has announced a new survey-based report that highlights that cloud automation is seen as the key to future-proofing cybersecurity – especially when coupled with autonomous privileges and access.
A total of 86% of respondents are exploring ways to automate access controls, especially for privileged access. But even with 68% of respondents seeing increases in budgets and staff, they continue to face mounting threats from an expanding threatscape they are challenged to address.
The report, titled Cloud Automation is the Key to Future-Proofing Cybersecurity, features responses from over 300 IT decision-makers.
It outlines key insights for developing a security strategy that supports growth and shares tips on navigating the changing cybersecurity landscape.
Joseph Carson, Advisory CISO and Chief Security Scientist at Delinea, said: “This survey report presents a conundrum, as respondents feel confident in their current cybersecurity postures, despite a significant amount of breaches being caused by compromised credentials.
“Yet they also realize that the way to secure the future of their organizations is through cloud automation, which for most presents a dynamic shift in approach, investments and resources.
“Today’s cyberthreats are faster, more intelligent and more dangerous. To prevent security blunders and survive in today’s unpredictable landscape, organizations must lean heavily on automation and embrace least privilege and zero trust best practices at every turn.”
