This research by Pulse Q&A, on behalf of Scytale Inc., explores the significant challenges IT security executives face in authenticating a growing number of applications and software services across hybrid cloud infrastructures. As enterprises adopt cloud computing and containers, managing service authentication becomes a complex hurdle that can hinder migration efforts and slow down development. The report, based on a survey of 100 IT security executives from companies with over 10,000 employees, highlights concerns about the theft of software service credentials across cloud, container, and on-premise infrastructure, with 97% of executives agreeing on this concern. It reveals that a substantial portion of organizations take more than a week to provision credentials for cloud-based services authenticating to on-premise systems. The overwhelming consensus (98% agreement) is that modern hybrid enterprises require a consistent and automated solution for authenticating software services, regardless of their platform.
