BlueFlag Security’s Raj Mallempati on why breaches start with identity

The target on developers' identities has never been bigger. They hold access to source code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure — and attackers know it. Target lost 860GB of source code through a single compromised credential. Recruitment fraud campaigns have pivoted from developer access to cloud admin in under 10 minutes.

These aren't code vulnerabilities — they're access problems. And as AI agents join human developers, contractors, and service accounts in the SDLC, the attack surface is expanding faster than static security tools can track.

Security teams need real-time visibility into who has access and what they're actually doing — not just what's in the code.
