Long-lived cloud credentials pose a significant security risk as they do not expire and are frequently found in various stages of software development, leading to major breaches.
Organizations face real challenges in managing long-lived credentials securely, with many incidents stemming from compromised credentials across numerous cloud platforms including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft.
While there is improvement in securing cloud storage such as S3 buckets, a considerable number of cloud VMs and instances still have overly permissive access configurations that threaten organizational security.
To mitigate risks, it is crucial for companies to develop and implement stricter identity management processes, especially with third-party integrations that may have access to sensitive data.
