Keeper Security Study Finds IT Leaders Struggling with Identity Growth Amid AI Expansion
Keeper Security, a fast-growing cybersecurity company, released research showing that 89% of IT leaders report difficulties managing expanding identity environments as organizations adopt more AI-driven technologies. The findings reflect growing complexity around user accounts, machine identities, and access management across enterprise systems.
As AI tools and automated agents are introduced into workflows, organizations are seeing a rapid increase in the number of identities requiring oversight and security controls. With growth in AI adoption, governance gaps emerge, such as AI usage in multiplying NHIs, employee AI usage, and shadow AI that creates blind spots.
According to the study, IT leaders cited concerns around visibility, governance, and the ability to enforce consistent access policies across distributed environments.
The report suggests that identity management is becoming more difficult as organizations expand cloud services and AI deployments. The growth of machine identities and autonomous systems is increasing pressure on organizations to modernize identity governance, authentication, and privileged access management strategies. Keeper delivers a zero-trust, zero-knowledge identity security and PAM platform designed for modern enterprise environments where AI adoption is accelerating, and machine identities are proliferating at scale, reducing the risk of damaging breaches.
