As enterprises continue to digitize operations and embrace hybrid work models, identity security is no longer a siloed concern—it’s the backbone of a resilient cybersecurity strategy. With blurred perimeters, decentralized workforces, and the growing complexity of user identities (human and machine alike), securing access at every level is both critical and challenging.
Today’s threat landscape is far more dynamic. Attackers increasingly target identities as the easiest path to infiltration, and the rise of hybrid environments only widens the attack surface. In this evolving context, the goal of identity security is shifting: it's no longer just about authentication or provisioning. It's about achieving zero standing privileges, where no one has unnecessary or persistent access, and every identity is continuously verified, monitored, and managed.
In this video cast, Kumaravel Ramakrishnan, Director of Marketing for PAM and ITSM here at ManageEngine, chats about the dire need for aligning identity protection with day-to-day enterprise workflows.
