The Human Factor: Building a Culture of Identity Security in a Decentralized Workforce
summary
Claims that identity is the new network perimeter, citing a 2022 study where 62% of workers report remote work and incidents that show gaps: Equifax lets attackers exfiltrate data for about 76 days via a vulnerable web portal, Colonial Pipeline pays a $4.4M ransom (FBI later recovers ~92%), MGM loses ~ $100M from a social‑engineering escalation. Practical controls advocated: MFA on privileged accounts, IAM/IGA, SSO plus zero trust, UBA, EDR/XDR, VPNs and microsegmentation.
