I’ve got some exciting news! I'm thrilled to share that the 2024 Identity Security Report by ManageEngine is now available and I've written the Executive Summary! This is a comprehensive deep dive into the latest trends, emerging threats, and expert insights in identity security. Collaborating with over 3,000 global experts, including C-suite executives, IT operations personnel, and cybersecurity specialists, Manage Engine's report is packed with invaluable perspectives on AI in identity security, identity-related breaches, and the adoption of security tools. Key findings include: ✅ A staggering 77% of CISOs reported experiencing an identity-related cyberattack in 2023. ✅ 27% of organisations maintain zero standing privileges. ✅ 68% of respondents emphasise the need for additional tools to address current identity security needs. ✅ 57% are eager to adopt AI tools, despite the initial investment required, and ✅ Interestingly, while 97% of CTOs foresee investment in identity security tools, 1 in 4 respondents in IT operations remain sceptical about such investments. This report offers a grounded view of the identity security landscape, equipping you with the insights needed to bolster your organisation's security posture. So, dive into the findings and empower your strategies today! Here’s the link 👇 https://lnkd.in/eCsMhtCQ PS. In addition to these findings, there’s a finding which really concerned me.

"68% of respondents emphasise the need for additional tools to address current identity security needs." I now understand why attackers are often successful; current cybersecurity defense tools are ineffective. However, as Bruce Schneier said, effective cybersecurity shouldn’t rely only on tools. Things like raising awareness about social engineering attacks are also key. Insightful share here, thanks, Jane!
Great insight Jane! Two findings stand out for me: - The one you highlighted about how identities are now the new battlefield - The disconnection in perspectives between C-level executives and security practitioners on the operational side. Is this an indication of a lack of communication? As always, thank you for sharing!!!!
Thanks for sharing Jane Frankland This stood out to me: "up to two-thirds of all surveyed would adopt new AI-based tools if they thought they could better secure vulnerable identities–even if training took an entire work week plus another month to learn the technology." Are there organizations finding success using AI-based tools?
It's really important to understand the risks and what solutions are available to address them. Insightful report and great resource for corps looking to upgrade their security. Thanks for sharing!
Is it the lag in the adoption of zero trust by government entities that you find concerning and is concerning? Your insights in this report are commendable. Thank you for sharing this here.
Jane Frankland your posts are like the ULTIMATE blockbuster movie teeming with action-packed unforgettable thrill a minute AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!! 🎬🎬🎬🎬💚💚💚
It's a clear indication of the increasing sophistication of threats and the critical need for robust identity security measures. Jane Frankland
