Eighteen outdated Identity and Access Management assumptions identified for retirement to improve security resilience
A panel of experts from the Forbes Technology Council outlined 18 outdated assumptions about identity and access management (IAM) that organizations should retire, reflecting the evolving complexities of digital identities and authentication methods. Key themes include the need for continuous verification beyond initial sign-up, the limitations of strong authentication alone, and the importance of adaptive, risk-based access management. Non-human identities such as service accounts and AI agents require governance similar to human users. The panel emphasizes that identities and access cannot be assumed static; continuous evaluation of context, intent, and risk is vital. Additionally, traditional multi-factor authentication methods are no longer considered fully reliable against advanced attacks, and emergency access paths should be established in case primary identity providers fail. Together, these insights highlight the necessity for IAM strategies that balance security with usability while adapting to modern threats and technologies.
