Since 2021, Keyfactor’s State of Machine Identity Report has helped organizations assess the machine identity and PKI landscape. The report’s findings illustrate how PKI is being used across the enterprise world, as well as the priorities and challenges that occupy the minds of security and C-suite leaders alike.
Keyfactor is proud to present the 2023 State of Machine Identity Report, conducted in partnership with the Ponemon Institute. This year’s report shows how organizations are still struggling to lay the foundation for efficient PKI management at scale — even as awareness of PKI as a business-critical necessity continues to rise.
The reality of quantum computing is drawing closer, use cases for machine identities are expanding, and outages are becoming more high stakes. While it’s widely recognized that every machine needs an identity, there is a dearth of discussion and understanding about managing those identities.
So what can organizations start doing now to manage machine identities better? This year’s State of Machine Identity Management Report offers several considerations on which to build a machine identity management (MIM) strategy that can enable greater crypto-agility for the future.
