Letâs face it: identity doesnât show up fully formed. It evolves â often awkwardly â across a series of phases. Most organisations don’t plan these phases out. They happen as a side effect of growth, chaos, mergers, or someone finally yelling, âWait… who has access to prod?â Hereâs a look at the most common stages

Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) represents a significant transformation in security thinking, emphasizing identity as a central element. It advocates for decentralized, adaptable security measures that assess access based on dynamic context rather than fixed logins. Identity architects must focus on integrating diverse identity systems and creating responsive, continuous trust environments to enhance security management.

Theyâre still lurking â despite the roadmap, the audit, and that very convincing slide deck. Letâs be honest: identity security always sounds like a priority… until itâs time to allocate budget, time, or people. Then suddenly, itâs next quarterâs problem. Meanwhile, legacy systems stay exempt from MFA, access reviews get rubber-stamped, and that one service

Role modeling always sounds tidy on a slide deck. But in the real world? Itâs a lot like managing your closet. 𧟠Top-Down is the Closet Organizer. You start with a vision. Shirts on hangers, shoes in clear bins, color-coded labels if you’re ambitious. Itâs all based on how you think you get dressed â

The traditional boundariesâbetween user and machine, on-prem and cloud, inside and outsideâhave collapsed. AI is accelerating both threat and defense. And Identity has become the security control point for everything from Zero Trust to regulatory
