## Resource

As threats have evolved, so too has the approach to modern identity security. A privilege-centric approach must be adopted to address this evolution. Identity management for all accounts within an organization must mature to meet the demands of the cloud, nonhuman identities (NHIs), agentic AI, and modern attack vectors. Your strategy must now manage and mitigate not only traditional privileged access (root and administrator accounts), but also attacks targeting modern identities with paths to privileged access. These paths to privilege remain one of the most valuable targets for cybercriminals because many organizations continue to defend their environments with fragmented or siloed security strategies and solutions. Security gaps and risks exist across endpoints, cloud environments, SaaS applications, third-party access, and now agentic AI and NHIs, making today's threat landscape more complex than ever. In this episode, ISACA's Donnie Carpenter, Principal, Information Security and Professional Practices Research Development, speaks with Christopher Hills, Chief Security Strategist at BeyondTrust, about the evolution of identity security and why organizations must rethink how they protect privileged access in today's rapidly changing technology landscape.
