Why identity is becoming the control plane for enterprise security

Attackers are increasingly using valid credentials, trusted sessions, and over-permissioned accounts instead of breaking through the perimeter.

Identity now determines not only who or what can gain access, but what actions are allowed, how long trust should continue, and whether access can be audited and revoked.
