In a world of cloud apps, remote work, and third-party collaboration, the traditional network perimeter has dissolved. Firewalls alone cannot protect modern enterprises—identity has become the new perimeter.
Why Identity is the Perimeter:
- Users access systems from anywhere, on any device.
- Applications and data reside in multiple clouds, beyond firewall reach.
- Attackers target accounts, not just networks.
How Identity Governance Enforces Security:
- Provides visibility into all accounts and entitlements.
- Ensures least privilege across applications and platforms.
- Detects and removes orphaned or risky accounts.
Bottom Line:
Firewalls defend networks, but identity governance defends access. In the era of remote work and cloud, enforcing security at the identity level is the only sustainable approach.
