The Perimeter Problem
What happens to governance, cost, and AI agent oversight beyond the edge of your identity ecosystem
Summary
Every identity program runs within an invisible perimeter. Outside of it, governance quietly fails, leaving your most sensitive systems with the least oversight. Basic platform connectors only manage simple sign-ins, meaning critical compliance reporting can lag by up to a full day and leave major security blind spots unaddressed. This eBook explores why access risk may live outside your primary platform's reach and how to securely bridge the gap.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Map your true perimeter: Locate where your current identity platform's control actually stops and where unmonitored access risk begins.
- Eliminate security blind spots: Resolve the dangerous gap between basic sign- in connectivity and deep, entitlement-level governance for non-native apps.
- Govern autonomous AI agents: Discover how to track, inventory, and manage nonhuman identities before they execute unauthorized actions in the shadows.
- Unify your identity architecture: Learn how the strongest compliance and security programs delegate authentication and identity governance to the platforms best suited for each task.
