Identity is now the leading threat vector and the weakest link in enterprise security strategies. In today’s modern multi-cloud environments, non-human identities of machines – like applications, automated processes and scripts – far outweigh human identities. These machines use secrets like credentials, certificates, and keys to securely communicate with each other. The reality in enterprises today is that it takes multiple tools across many categories and vendors to effectively and efficiently manage secrets and machine identities.
“According to data we compiled, enterprises are using more than 12 tools across 15 categories and 75 vendors for secrets and machine identity management. This not only increases cost and complexity but also weakens the enterprise security posture,” said Oded Hareven, Co-founder and CEO of Akeyless Security. “The strategic investment from Deutsche Bank will accelerate our mission to prevent breaches by empowering enterprises with enhanced control, visibility, and security for efficient management of their secrets and machine identities.”
