A recent report from CyberArk, highlighted by Palo Alto Networks, reveals a significant imbalance in digital identities, with an average of 110 machine identities for every human user. This surge in automated agents, API keys, and bots, up from 83 last year, poses a major security risk as these entities often possess excessive permissions.
