Addressing this requires a structured Identity and Access Management (IAM) approach that strengthens authentication, governs access appropriately, and reduces reliance on static credentials. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) support this transition through assessment, gap analysis and the implementation of modern identity controls that enhance security while maintaining operational continuity. Stronger identity factors and layered checks are essentialThis is where identity and access management become critical. A post-password approach works when identity is verified properly, access is granted deliberately, and permissions are reviewed and removed when no longer needed. It is about putting consistent controls in place so that the right people have the right access at the right time.
