​The traditional network perimeter has completely dissolved, making identity the primary battleground for enterprise security. Attackers no longer need to exploit complex software vulnerabilities; instead, they use sophisticated infostealer networks to harvest credentials and simply log into critical systems undetected.

Privileged accounts—the administrative keys to an organization's most sensitive data—are expanding rapidly across cloud environments, service applications, and third-party vendor integrations. When these high-value identities are left ungoverned, a single compromised credential grants an adversary immediate lateral mobility and full operational authority to disable logging, alter system configurations, and bypass standard multi-factor authentication.
