"Half of Organizations Have Unmanaged Long-Lived Cloud Credentials"

Datadog's "State of Cloud Security 2024" report found that 46 percent of organizations have unmanaged users with long-lived credentials in cloud services, putting them at risk of data breaches. Long-lived credentials, which are authentication tokens or keys in the cloud that remain valid for a long time, can give attackers persistent access with the same privileges as the owner. According to the report, long-lived credentials are widespread across Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and more. This article continues to discuss key findings from Datadog's State of Cloud Security 2024 report.
