Machine identities now outnumber human identities, yet most organisations fail to secure them effectively—leaving critical systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The 2025 State of Machine Identity Security Report is based on a survey of 1,200 security leaders from the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, and Singapore. Spanning multiple industries, it highlights key trends and challenges shaping machine identity security today.
Key highlights from this must-read report:
- Machine identity threats are escalating – API keys, SSL/TLS certificates, and service tokens are primary attack vectors.
- AI and cloud native systems amplify security risks – 81% of security leaders stress the need to protect AI models from manipulation.
- Automation and visibility are lacking – 34% of organizations still manage identities manually, increasing risk exposure.
- Quantum computing poses new risks – 57% believe quantum will disrupt all machine identities.
