After analyzing millions of containers and thousands of cloud services, users, and roles, the results are in! The biggest trends we’re seeing include:
- Shift-left still isn’t a reality yet
- Identity management is the most overlooked cloud risk
- Short-lived containers will always present risk
- Enterprise GenAI adoption is growing slower than expected

Secure practices or convenience: What are organizations choosing?
Convenience and user experience often trump security so that organizations can ensure availability and high productivity.
Runtime security still rules while shift left isn’t a reality yet
Runtime prioritization can help reduce critical and high vulnerabilities by 50%. Organizations should be scanning for, identifying, and remediating vulns in the pre-delivery pipeline before runtime.
Identity management is the most overlooked cloud risk
Enforcing least privilege will reduce misconfiguration and privilege escalation attack opportunities.
Short-lived containers will always present risk
With automation, attackers can enter and move laterally before the end of a container’s lifespan, reinforcing the need for continuous threat detection, and a record for investigations.
Enterprise GenAI adoption is growing slower than expected
Most AI packages are used for data correlation and analysis–not for managing security practices or improving detections.
