Is Your Organization Ready for a Machine Identity Audit?

Machine identities like API keys, certificates, and containers now vastly outnumber human users and are often unmanaged, creating major risks for audits and compliance.

This quick-read guide from CyberArk and Informa TechTarget explains why machine identity security is critical and how to get audit-ready fast. You’ll learn five key ways to reduce risk, improve visibility, and align with compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and NIST.

Don’t wait for an audit to uncover the problem.
