What is Continuous Identity, and why every IAM team should care The traditional IAM playbook is failing at machine speed—here's why Continuous Identity represents the generational shift identity teams need to understand and adopt now.

Identity systems make static decisions in a dynamic world. That's the fundamental problem.

Exceed NIST 1800-35’s Zero Trust demonstrations with continuous, context-aware identity NIST's new Zero Trust guide proves ZTA works in practice… but also reveals exactly why current approaches still leave critical gaps that only continuous identity can fill.

NIST's new Zero Trust guide proves ZTA works—but reveals critical gaps. JIT Provisioning ≠ Zero Standing Privilege. True ZSP needs ephemeral access, not temporary roles. @mathamlin.bsky.social gives the analysis: sgnl.ai/2025/07/nist...

Why CSPM and CIEM can tell you where it Hurts, but can’t make you better CSPM and CIEM tools excel at showing you every cloud security risk, but like getting an X-ray without a doctor, they leave you staring at problems without the power to actually fix them.

#CSPM & #CIEM tell you where it hurts. But they can’t make you better.

2040 IAM vision, today’s reality: Zero Standing Privilege takes center stage Martin Kuppinger's 2040 IAM predictions are already becoming reality as zero standing privilege emerges as the clear path forward for modern enterprises.

At KuppingerCole’s EIC last week, the identity vision for 2040 was bold — but some of it is already in motion.

@iglazer.bsky.social broke down what’s actually achievable today, where orgs are making progress, and why timing matters more than ever in access decisions.

Happy Identity Management Day to all who celebrate (and honestly… everyone should be) 🎉

Your identity is your security perimeter. And if access isn’t being continuously evaluated using meaningful context, it’s probably being misused. Cheers!

Why traditional PAM fails in the cloud—and what to do instead Traditional PAM tools weren't built for the cloud—how modern privileged identity management (MPIM) offers a better path to secure cloud access.

Legacy PAM doesn’t work in the cloud.
It’s slow. It’s static. It wasn’t built for identity-first access.

Here’s what a modern approach looks like in practice 👇
