Global Edition 2022 Thales Access Management Index Building Zero Trust with Modern Access Security #2022DataThreatReport cpl.thalesgroup.com
Multi-factor Authentication Adoption a Mixed Bag Despite the well-known limitations of passwords, MFA still trails other security tools like firewalls, endpoint security, SIEM and email security. 56% +37% In 2022, only 56% of respondents have adopted MFA in their organizations, which is only a slight increase from In 2022, more than one-third (37%) have more than 40% of their employees using MFA for cloud and SaaS apps, compared to only 12% using MFA in 2021. 55% in 2021.
Access Management Tools Still Mainly Used for Remote and Privileged Users Remote access remains the primary use case for 2FA/MFA. In 2022 68% of respondents reported having MFA enabled for remote non-IT employees, a slight dip from 71% in last year's survey. 52% of privileged employees and IT staff now use 2FA/MFA. This is an increase from 48% in 2021.
Access Management Tools Still Mainly Used for Remote and Privileged Users 47% 41% of respondents in agree that access management and authentication play a key role in achieving zero-trust security, this is a slight increase from 45% in 2021. of respondents manage their access management systems by having separate systems on-premises and in the cloud, while 28% have only cloud systems.
VPNs Still the Leading Remote Access Technology 42% plan to keep existing VPNs but complement them with new technology like ZTNA, SASE, and SDP. 21% have plans to fully replace all VPN use cases, while 17% are planning to replace some VPN use cases with ZTNA, SASE, and SDP. However 57% VPNs remain the most widely used remote access capability, increasing slightly to 60% from 59% in 2021. more than half the respondents (57%) plan to improve the means of authentication of existing VPNs.
Access Management - Hybrid Networks and Ease of Deployment Remain Top Challenges The top 3 challenges with access management solutions include 23% 18% 15% The ability to protect both on-premises and cloud-based services Cost Ease of deployment
Firms Prefer Agnostic Third-party Access Management, Particularly for Multi-cloud 41% prefer that their access security be delivered by an agnostic, third-party security provider rather than by a cloud service provider. 54% feel that an agnostic access management solution can best protect multi-cloud environments. 47% More than half (57%) of respondents feel that their organizations must maintain control over their access security. feel that access management and authentication play a key role in achieving Zero Trust security.
