    Introduction For most of cybersecurity’s history, attackers were forced to break into systems. They exploited software vulnerabilities, bypassed perimeter defenses, and escalated privileges once inside. That model is increasingly obsolete. Today’s attackers log in. Credential theft, authentication workflow abuse, and real time session relay attacks have become the most reliable and scalable methods of compromise….

  6. From AAA to Assurance: How the UK Telecoms Security Act Is Shaping Identity-Based Network Control

    October 31st, 2025 by Paul Hunter | Posted in News, Perspective, Research, Security Outcomes |

    Tags: , , , , , , , ,

    Introduction As CISOs, we often face regulations that seem far removed from the practical realities of running identity and access infrastructure. The UK’s Telecommunications Security Act (TSA) and its accompanying Code of Practice mark a significant shift in that dynamic. Identity and privileged access management are no longer back-office hygiene tasks; they are front-line compliance…

    Mitigating identity-related access risks is critical as organizations face evolving threats daily. As businesses shift to multi-cloud and hybrid environments, identity sprawl such as shadow IT and unmanaged SaaS apps has become a top attack vector. Identity and access management (IAM) and identity governance and administration (IGA) must now secure identities beyond corporate perimeters, spanning AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and SaaS platforms…

    Tags: , , , ,

    Companies of every size depend on Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) to secure logins, enforce policies, and meet compliance requirements. These platforms are the backbone of modern identity security. But there’s a problem: they can only secure what they connect to. The apps that don’t…
