Eliminate Ghost Identities Before They Expose Your Enterprise Data
Compromised service accounts and forgotten API keys caused 68% of cloud breaches in 2024. Learn how to find and eliminate ghost identities.
What’s new: A recent report highlights that compromised service accounts and forgotten API keys were responsible for 68% of cloud breaches in 2024. These unmanaged non-human identities, such as service accounts and API tokens, often remain active and fully privileged after projects end or employees leave, posing significant security risks.
Who’s affected
Organizations utilizing cloud services that rely on automated credentials, including service accounts and API tokens, are at risk of data exposure due to unmanaged identities.
What to do
- Conduct a full discovery scan of all non-human identities in your environment.
- Implement a framework for right-sizing permissions across service accounts and AI integrations.
- Establish an automated lifecycle policy to revoke inactive credentials before they can be exploited.
- Utilize an Identity Cleanup Checklist to ensure all non-human identities are properly managed.
