Machine Identity Crisis: the Challenges of Manual Processes and Hidden Risks

A Global Survey of Identity and Access Roles, Security Professionals, and Executives 

This report reviews a global survey conducted by Dimensional Research of more than 320 Identity and Access Management (IAM), IT security, and audit and compliance leaders focusing on management, policies, and challenges of machine (non-human) identities. The study sought to understand the differences between managing machine identities and human identities. The research also captured security risk, overprovisioning, and compliance adherence relative to human identities.

Key findings include:

  • Machine Identities are More Challenging to Manage, Requiring More Manual Processes
  • Machine Identities Drive Audit Issues Due to Lack of Ownership, Low Visibility, and Hesitation
  • Machine Identities Pose Increased Security Risk Over Human Identities
