The Identity Protection Maturity Myth That Leaves Enterprises Exposed
🔐 Identity Protection Maturity Is a Dangerous Illusion
⚠️ Many enterprises think they’re secure because they’ve deployed MFA, SSO, and identity tools – yet attackers still slip through.
😱 The shocking truth is that cybercriminals rarely need to hack the technology. They exploit the human layer by convincing employees to “approve” fraudulent requests or reset access controls.
📊 This maturity myth creates a false sense of safety. Dashboards look green, executives feel reassured, but real-world breaches prove otherwise.
💡 Identity protection is not about checkboxes – it’s about resilience against manipulation. The missing piece is continuous, real-world simulations that train employees to recognize and resist these tactics.
🚨 Without this, one compromised account can give attackers the keys to the kingdom.
