The power of one: Why context is the currency of modern security

In cybersecurity, we’ve made a dangerous compromise. We’ve allowed identity context, security context, and data context to live in silos, each optimized for its own corner of the enterprise, but collectively blind to the bigger picture.

Unfortunately, attackers do. Attackers are alread...
