- Half of the employees have excessive rights over AI and SaaS Estates, Cloudeagle -Report finds
- Invisible it hides 60% of apps that undermine traditional identity checks
- Examination recommends AI Governance Plus right in time access and reviews
Half of the business staff now have excessive privileges for critical applications, new research has claimed.
Cloudeagle.ai’s latest identity management report examined 1,000 CIOs and CISOs and found that 60% of SaaS and AI tools are out of its supervision.
Invisible, it extends the insider risk, driving force for violation, audit defects and adherence to the headaches, the report says.
Privilege creep
It found that 70% of managers stated unknown AI tools as a leading data concern, while 48% admitted that former staff still have access, even months after leaving.
Privilege Creep is common, yet only five percent of organizations actively deliver the least privilege settings, and only fifteen percent use the Access Company widely in the past, despite the assembly certificate that temporary credentials reduce the risk and the scope of auditing.
“Traditional IAM [Identity and Access Management] Tools cannot keep up with today’s SaaS and AI-powered environments because not all apps are managed by it, and not everything is behind a centralized IAM system. Iga [Identity Governance and Administration] is at a tilt point and companies need to switch to AI-driven access management to stay secure and compatible, ”says Nidhi Jain, CEO and founder, Cloudeagle.ai.
Cloudeagle.ai’s platform positions itself as an AI-centrated response, but the report emphasizes that technology alone is not enough.
It recommends identifying a chief identity officer to coordinate policies across business units and automate delivery, reviews and removal. Zero Trust, context -conscious controls must replace broad standing access, while behavioral analysis helps mark deviations before they become events.
The study also suggests that continuous access reviews driven by machine learning can shrink privilege windows without slowing down work.
When Shadow SaaS uses rising and insider-led events that now dominate violation reports, the era with annual checklists looks over to be over.
Analysts say that boards are closer to attention, as regulators fine organizations to blow permission that postpone customer posts and intellectual property. Without time frame of any identity, leaders admit that they cannot meet zero trust or prove compliance with cyber insurance questionnaires.
