To better understand the state of cloud-native machine identity management , Venafi sponsored an independent survey of 800 security and IT leaders in large organisations across the US , UK , France and Germany .
The goal was to gather data that revealed how companies are approaching cloud-native security , where they are facing challenges , which trends they are adopting , and who is responsible for setting strategy and implementing security and machine identity management in cloud-native environments .
The cloud has changed the application lifecycle in ways that many organisations did not anticipate . Development teams are now expected to deliver production code at warp speed , but security teams are struggling to keep pace .
At the centre of the trade-off between speed and security is the management of machine identities .
Yet , many organisations are still trying to strategise the best ways to integrate machine identities into their cloud native application development cycles . They are unsure who should own the security of machine identities going forward , although many are shifting priorities to move security closer to the development process .
The report offers some key takeaways to keep in mind for when plans are drawn up for a cloud native machine identity management strategy moving forward .
