A report by Osterman Research reveals that Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions are often inadequately deployed, leaving organizations vulnerable to identity threats. The study also found that service accounts, which are usually not protected by these controls, are highly exposed to malicious attacks. The report, which surveyed 600 identity security professionals globally, suggests that less than 7% of organizations have MFA protection for most of their critical resources, and only 10.2% have fully implemented PAM solutions.
