The Varonis DSPM Snapshot highlights key risks from hundreds of data security posture assessments across 15 billion files and 180,000 accounts. Nearly 50% of files shared with all users contain sensitive data, meaning a single compromised account could expose critical information. Ghost users are a hidden risk, with 35% of inactive accounts still enabled, providing attackers easy entry points. One-third of sensitive data permissions are stale, increasing the chance of misuse, while 60% of admin accounts lack MFA, leaving organizations vulnerable to credential attacks. Automating least privilege, enforcing MFA, and monitoring access continuously are vital to strengthening security posture.
