The 8th version of the OWASP Top 10 highlights Broken Access Control as the leading security risk, emphasizing its persistence due to complex identity and access management (IAM) challenges in multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Despite advancements in security technologies, unauthorized access remains prevalent because over-permissioned identities, static permissions in dynamic environments, inconsistent enforcement across cloud platforms, and limited visibility into effective access create vulnerabilities. This issue is not about authentication failures but rather the need for continuous authorization governance to manage what authenticated identities can do. Effective solutions include implementing just-in-time access, maintaining continuous visibility and analysis of entitlements, and enforcing automated least-privilege policies. The OWASP list underscores the necessity for organizations to shift focus from merely verifying identities to actively managing runtime entitlements across AWS, Azure, and on-prem systems to mitigate the risk of Broken Access Control.
