The new era of executive risk: Why identity security must be continuous
Securing identities has become significantly more complex over the last several years. Organizations are no longer only managing employee identities. Contractors, vendors, partners, service accounts, machine identities, and AI agents all require access to business systems, creating a larger and more dynamic identity ecosystem than security teams have managed in the past.
At the same time, the burden on CISOs, CSOs, and risk and compliance officers continues to intensify. Boards and regulators expect these leaders to reduce cyber and compliance risk. To deliver on these mandates, they must prove that access to critical systems and data is strictly governed and that policies are consistently enforced.
Meeting those mandates has become increasingly complex as human and non-human identities are constantly provisioned and modified across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and hybrid environments, often far faster than manual processes can track.
