The rise of machine identities is creating cybersecurity debt, and increasing security risks.

Let's take a look at three of the top security risks which machine identities create - and how you can combat them.

If a single machine ID is compromised, security teams must replace its key and certificate quickly.

What if a cloud container decides to revoke all your machine IDs because it detects a compromise in a single ID? All these issues will hit your security team at once, causing a deluge of issues that can make attributing it all to one root cause extremely challenging.

Many organizations task their security teams in this manner, opening them to major security risks.

Fail to do so, and the rising number of machine identities will leave your security team overburdened and unable to respond to threats.
