In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner welcomes Kevin Bocek, CyberArk SVP of Innovation, for an insightful discussion on the critical role of machine identity in modern cybersecurity. As digital environments become increasingly complex, securing machine identities has never been more crucial.

The traditional network security model of “trust but verify” has become fundamentally inadequate for protecting modern Internet of Things (IoT) environments. With enterprise IoT deployments spanning millions of connected devices across distributed networks, organizations can no longer rely on perimeter-based security that assumes internal network traffic is inherently trustworthy.

The ways in which people work are changing, and so are the approaches needed to secure modern work. As organizations race to gain the benefits of cloud computing, relax rules around bring-your-own devices, and leverage hybrid-work models that require edge devices such as VPN gateways, the result is an expanding, disparate IT environment. And even worse, users are a part of the attack surface — one threat actors are all too ready and willing to exploit.

Zero Trust PAM is the future of privileged security, ensuring continuous authentication, least privilege access, and real-time monitoring to prevent unauthorized access. In this blog, we explore how Zero Trust PAM strengthens privileged security in 2025.

As organizations support an increasingly mobile workforce, the challenge of securing access to corporate resources from personal and company-owned devices, across various locations, networks, and use cases, has grown more complex. According to Verizon's 2024 Mobile Security Index, 53% of organizations experienced a security incident involving a mobile or IoT device that resulted in data loss or downtime, highlighting the escalating risks associated with mobile endpoints.
