What is driving the machine identity crisis?

2020-02-27 04:30

Every machine needs a unique identity in order to authenticate itself and communicate securely with other machines.

Secure, reliable authentication is essential to protect machine-to-machine communication, yet protecting every machine identity across an enterprise can be a challenge.

According to Bocek, five major trends are contributing to the complexity and explosive growth of machines, which in turn are creating a Machine Identity Crisis.

Open APIs add to the complexity of these projects, which underlines the need for each machine to have its own unique identity.

"Bocek added:"Organizations can only solve these problems with intelligent automation, and they must have complete visibility into every machine identity in the cloud, microservice, IoT network, mobile device and enterprise network.
