82% of companies unknowingly give 3rd parties access to all their cloud data

A majority of companies inadvertently grant third-party vendors overly broad permissions in cloud environments due to the complexity of identity access controls, creating risk of unintended data exposure. The issue stems from innocent-looking permission configurations that can provide access far beyond intended scope.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to audit third-party cloud access permissions immediately, as most companies face undetected over-provisioning that could expose all organizational data to vendors.
