In 2024, data compromises affected 1.3 billion individuals, with 52% of vulnerabilities linked to initial access, allowing quick escalation to sensitive systems. Legacy authentication methods, specifically proximity cards, remain prevalent yet are severely flawed as they can be easily cloned. Attackers exploiting these weaknesses can infiltrate organizations and execute account takeovers while masquerading as legitimate users. Despite the risks, organizations are delaying upgrades due to misconceptions about modernization costs and complexity. Transitioning to modern authentication solutions can mitigate these vulnerabilities and enhance security significantly.
The pace of data compromises shows no signs of slowing down. In 2024 alone, 3,158 incidents affected a staggering 1.3 billion individuals.
52% of vulnerabilities identified in 2024 were related to initial access, allowing attackers to reach sensitive systems and high-value assets in under an hour.
Proximity cards, despite their longstanding use in access control, are among the weakest links in enterprise authentication due to their lack of encryption and easy cloning.
By proactively moving to modern authentication solutions, organizations can close off vulnerabilities tied to legacy methods like proximity cards.
