“Adopting just-in-time access is the closest thing to a 'never trust, always verify' model for user permissions. If you’re still leaving standing privileges unchecked, you’re giving attackers exactly what they need to exploit your systems”
Jim Palermo
CIO

“IAM is often the most underfunded yet mission-critical part of security. But those taking a proactive approach, starting with automation and AI-driven governance, are not just reducing risk, they’re unlocking efficiency and long-term cost savings”

“Privilege creep happens when employees retain access they no longer need, quietly piling up over time. Without regular access reviews, these outdated permissions become a hidden threat to security and operational integrity”
Noni Azhar
CIO

“Every unapproved app is a potential security gap, a compliance liability, and an unwanted cost. Without centralized visibility, enterprises are flying blind, exposing sensitive data and overspending on redundant tools”

“Relying on passwords alone today is a losing battle. Without stronger authentication and identity controls, businesses are leaving the door wide open for cyber threats”
