In a dynamic shift within the cybersecurity landscape

🔐 In a dynamic shift within the cybersecurity landscape, Okta has acquired Sepra, and Delinea has acquired Authomize, indicating a growing trend in IAM(Identity and Access Management)products specializing in Identity Threat Detection.

🌐 Identity breaches are the #1 threat organizations face today, with 86% stemming from phishing attacks and credential abuse. The complexity of cloud environments amplifies this risk, emphasizing the need for robust Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) strategies.

📈 According to Gartner, by 2026, 90% of organizations will adopt embedded ITDR strategies, up from 5%-20% today. Secure Identity Posture Management solutions are pivotal in evaluating identity deployments, offering visibility across Identity Providers and infrastructure, identifying risky accounts and misconfigurations, and enhancing access policies.

🌩️ Delinea, in light of the Authomize acquisition, addresses the surge in identity-related data breaches targeting cloud ecosystems. The shift towards cloud-based applications poses challenges, with unmonitored accounts being prime targets. Authomize's integration will empower Delinea's PAM platform to detect and mitigate abuse across all identities in integrated SaaS applications and hybrid infrastructures.

🌐 As we witness these strategic moves, it's evident that organizations are recognizing the critical need to fortify their identity security postures. Stay tuned for the transformative impact these acquisitions will have on the IAM landscape! 💡💼
