Access under attack: Rethinking identity as the new cyber battleground
Attendees will learn:
- How to evaluate their organization’s identity security maturity and identify high-risk blind spots
- The hidden connections between identity sprawl, misconfigurations, and privilege abuse
- Practical ways AI and automation can streamline identity governance without adding noise, and why “protecting the identity fabric” is now central to modern cyber resilience

As cyber threats escalate and identities become the new perimeter, most organizations find themselves fighting a battle they can’t see clearly — one where every user, system, and workload connection represents a potential breach. The result: alert overload, identity sprawl, and mounting fatigue among even the most seasoned defenders.
In this interactive discussion, Veza experts and SC Media’s Adrian Sanabria unpack the realities of identity security going into 2026 — from the chaos of excessive access and shadow permissions to the mounting attacks exploiting identity systems themselves. Grounded in NIST-aligned maturity models and real-world use cases, this webcast will help you assess where your identity program stands and how to move it forward. You’ll also gain access to Veza’s Identity Security Assessment Tool to benchmark your organization’s readiness and get personalized recommendations for closing gaps in 2025’s most critical attack surface: who has access to what, and why.
