The traditional perimeter is no longer what protects our critical information and systems.The traditional perimeter is no longer what protects our critical information and systems.
In 2025, securing data is dependent on identity. With distributed multi-cloud, multi-IDP environments, the business world is up against a stark reality: the username and password have become the most dangerous attack vector in cybersecurity. Today, making identity as a Tier 1 infrastructure is the difference between business continuity and a catastrophic breach.
Identity security is now the foundation of cybersecurity, driven by the growing ineffectiveness of usernames and passwords, along with the rapidly increasing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the rapid rise of machine identities. As non-human identities surpass those of humans, cyber attackers are increasingly exploiting identity-related weaknesses to infiltrate systems, steal data, and navigate across networks undetected.
