CyberArk and Accenture Experts Discuss Modernization, Identity Sprawl, Securing AI Financial services organizations are accelerating modernization efforts by adopting artificial intelligence, automation and DevOps-driven cloud development, but these initiatives have dramatically expanded their attack surface. As banks and financial enterprises rely more heavily on non-human identities to power applications, integrations and AI-driven workflows, security leaders are struggling to manage the volume, velocity and variety of machine identities across cloud and on-premises environments, said Barak Feldman, senior vice president of solutions engineering at CyberArk, and Rex Thexton, senior managing director at Accenture.
