Why identity failures are the root cause of most modern breaches — even in well-funded cloud environments.
As identity becomes the primary control plane for modern enterprises, consolidating authentication under one central identity provider reduces attack surface, improves visibility, and enables secure business agility.
Key takeaway: A single central identity provider turns authentication from a fragmented IT function into a strategic business control for security, resilience, and scale.
Executives often equate MFA coverage with identity security, but modern adversaries bypass authentication entirely, exposing MFA as a misleading indicator of reduced risk.
Key takeaway: MFA is essential, but identity breaches persist because attackers exploit sessions, recovery paths, and lifecycle gaps beyond authentication.
Organizations enable MFA expecting risk reduction, yet breaches still occur. This explains why MFA often fails to stop real-world attacks.
Key takeaway: MFA reduces credential theft risk, not identity abuse risk. Most modern attacks succeed after MFA.
