Anetac today launched the Anetac Linked Community, an identity vulnerability community. The community will serve as a collaborative space where cybersecurity leaders, practitioners, and researchers can learn and engage with experts around identity vulnerabilities related to human and non-human identities.
The Anetac Linked Community offers members:
- Exclusive access to a library of articles, podcasts, and research from leading cybersecurity experts and thought leaders
- An opportunity to collaborate and engage with industry experts
- Free vulnerability assessments to gain complete visibility into their identity security landscape
- Early access and awareness to product releases and fixes
- Access to Anetac’s 2024 Identity Security Posture Management Report
External contributors, recognized for their expertise and innovative approaches, will share their knowledge through articles, research, and exclusive content. Seasoned industry leaders will provide valuable perspectives on emerging trends, best practices, and themes related to identity vulnerabilities with machine and human accounts. Additionally, community members will be invited to participate in exclusive events, podcasts, and webinars.
“The Anetac Linked Community was inspired by in-depth interviews with over 35 security leaders before we built the company,” said Diana Nicholas, co-founder and head of marketing at Anetac. "These interviews revealed a critical gap in understanding and managing service accounts. We discovered that while most people had a decent grasp of the problem, there weren’t any dedicated spaces for education from thought leaders on content surrounding both the issue and its solutions.”
Andy Cottrell, CEO of Truvantis and contributor of the Anetac Linked Community, adds: "As a veteran in the cybersecurity field, I've witnessed firsthand how crucial collaboration and knowledge-sharing are in staying ahead of evolving threats. I am excited to contribute to the Anetac Linked Community's dynamic ecosystem where professionals can connect, learn, and grow together."
The juxtaposition of what security leaders think their identity security posture is versus reality is what inspired the company to build a community to drive awareness and education.
Key findings driving the need for an Anetac Linked Community include:
- The lack of a singular place to support security leaders, decision makers, and executives in the identity vulnerability and security space to connect, share, and learn from peers and experts alike.
- According to research conducted in partnership with TechTarget’s Enterprise Security Group (ESG), 66% of enterprises have endured successful cyber attacks resulting from compromised non-human identities, with 25% enduring multiple attacks.
- The volume of non-human identities is expected to increase by 24% annually (ESG).
- While practitioners estimate that the ratio of non-human accounts to human accounts is 20:1 (ESG), Anetac’s findings suggest this number could be significantly larger, averaging around 40:1.
- According to Anetac’s annual Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) Survey Report, 76% of IT security professionals acknowledged that their service accounts have direct access to the company's crown jewels, yet 40% reported that only 0-14% of their service accounts have such high-level access.
The Anetac Dynamic Identity Vulnerability and Security Platform automates real-time streaming non-human, human, and dormant account discovery, identifies and monitors what they are all linked to, and provides insights into password compliance across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
