Identity security didn’t suddenly fail us. It didn’t break. It just grew apart. Many agile changes started as smart, necessary business decisions – cloud adoption, remote work, SaaS acceleration, mergers and acquisitions – all of which quietly reshaped identity into something far more distributed than it was ever designed to be. Each move solved a real problem in the moment. But collectively, they created something harder to manage: Identity siloes that don’t communicate.

AI-assisted development crossed the “cool demo” threshold long ago. It is now a daily workflow. Generate code. Refactor. Run tests. Spin up infrastructure. Deploy.

In security, we love to talk about tools. Detection engines, behavioral analytics, identity governance platforms, and data classification tags. We invest millions in building systems that can track, monitor, and block unauthorized activity. And when it comes to insider risk, many organizations respond by doubling down on controls implementing tighter access permissions, more restrictive policies and stricter monitoring.

Today Coralogix announced U.S. Department of Education Sponsorship for FedRAMP Authorization. Government agencies currently face a critical balancing act. On one side, there is an urgent mandate to modernize operations and adopt artificial intelligence to improve services. On the other, there are strict requirements for security, compliance, and data sovereignty that cannot be compromised.

Here’s a conversation that keeps happening: A compliance team passes their PCI audit in June. By September, they’ve had a card skimming incident traced to a third-party script nobody knew was running on their checkout page. Their tools didn’t catch it because none of them could actually see what was executing in the customer’s browser. That’s the gap PCI DSS 4.0.1 is forcing everyone to address.

Cybersecurity risk is no longer an abstract concern relegated to IT teams, it is a material business risk that boards and senior leaders must actively manage.UK government research indicates that around 43% of businesses experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the past year, underlining how common these incidents have become across sector, from small business to large enterprises.
