Identity is eating security as digital transformation accelerates, making every identity, human or not, a potential entry point for threat actors. The modern enterprise's reliance on data has shifted the focus from network perimeter security to identity-based protection. However, most organizations struggle to answer basic access questions due to fragmented ownership and accountability across silos. Non-human identities, such as service accounts, bots, APIs, and cloud functions, pose significant risks, while legacy IAM tools are ill-equipped to handle the hybrid, multi-cloud environment. Over-permissioning and tooling that doesn't match today's threat landscape exacerbate the issue, feeding a problem that legacy tools are failing to address. To counter this, organizations must regain control by establishing unified identity governance, gaining real-time visibility into access, automating remediation and access certifications, and applying least privilege and context-based access controls.
