Today, there are software and online tools, remote employees, \u2018bring your own device\u2019 computers and phones, and multiple vendors that need access into systems. These situations are quite common and make the environment fully distributed.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Combined with software and devices synchronizing to other systems, your weakest link across your entire estate becomes a potential door into your environment.

While the internal environment may be fully protected, a compromised user identity on a personal website could use the same credentials that user uses to access sensitive company information. A threat actor who obtains those credentials from the personal account\u2014such as a social media breach\u2014could simply log into the company environment without triggering traditional alarms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can have healthy infrastructure and still be wide open to identity abuse.

Think of this like a traditional office building: you get past the turnstiles and the front desk, and you can choose any floor on the elevator and technically access any office once you are inside.
