Forbes Council: Retire 8 Outdated Identity Security Assumptions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Forbes Technology Council has identified eight outdated assumptions about identity and access management (IAM) that businesses should reconsider. Key among these is the notion that a one-time user verification at sign-up is sufficient, as continuous monitoring and risk-based authentication are now necessary. The council also stresses that strong authentication alone does not guarantee security, especially with the rise of AI agents and non-human identities that require careful governance and least-privilege access. Furthermore, the idea that more login hurdles equate to better security is challenged, advocating instead for seamless, secure access that users won't bypass. AI
