How CISOs should approach their identity security programs: a first principles guide
Identity security has become more complex than ever, with every new acronym promising to solve the latest gap -- yet most organizations remain burdened with standing access, excessive entitlements and audit findings.
This paper shows how CISOs can take a step back and return to first principles. Instead of adding more tools, leaders can rationalize identity programs by focusing on the three pillars that matter: IAM to authenticate, IGA to govern broadly and PAM to secure the highest-risk systems.
Along the way, the paper explains why new capabilities like CIEM, ITDR, or NHI management are best embedded within those pillars, not treated as standalone control planes. If your team is wrestling with least privilege, non-human identities, or continuous posture assurance, this guide offers a vendor-neutral framework to bring clarity, cut through the acronym soup and focus on what actually reduces risk.
