Delinea reveals cloud automation is key to futureproofing cybersecurity
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 decisionmakers . It outlines key insights for developing a security strategy that supports growth and shares tips on navigating the changing cybersecurity landscape .
“ 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 .
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 .
“ 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 .” p
