See how it works

SSO Doesn’t Stop Credential Abuse

Single sign-on simplifies access but doesn’t verify intent. Once logged in, compromised accounts operate without suspicion. Lateral movement continues under the guise of legitimacy.

Role-Based Access Control Becomes Outdated Quickly

User roles rarely reflect real-time responsibilities. Employees change teams, but their access stays the same. Overprivileged accounts pile up without review.

Privilege Escalation Happens Inside the System

Attackers don’t need new credentials if they can elevate within. Misconfigured policies, forgotten groups, or dev tools grant admin access silently. IAM logs rarely show the nuance of escalation paths.

Identity Federation Spreads Risk Across Tenants

Trust relationships between organizations expand the attack surface. Compromise in one tenant can cascade into others. Federated identity increases convenience and exposure equally.

MFA Enforcement is Inconsistent Across Services

Some apps require MFA, others don’t. Exceptions exist for legacy protocols, service accounts, or emergency users. Attackers target the weakest link in enforcement.

Deactivated Accounts Often Remain Active Elsewhere

Disabling a user in one system doesn’t propagate to others. Old VPNs, HR tools, or SaaS apps still accept the login. Dormant accounts become sleeper agents.
