That access now props up integrations, batch jobs, recovery scripts, vendor tooling, and fragile automation chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Gogia sees enterprises maintaining this status quo on privileges because reining it in \u201cfeels less like tightening security and more like introducing existential operational risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are choosing predictability over disruption,\u201d he explains. \u201cAlways-on privilege becomes the safest option in environments where architectural certainty no longer exists. It accumulates quietly over time as systems evolve faster than governance models. Mergers, cloud migrations, outsourcing, platform layering, and emergency fixes all leave behind privileged identities that nobody revisits. Over years, this creates an estate where privilege is deeply embedded into how work gets done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4123184\/always-on-privileged-access-is-pervasive-and-fraught-with-risks.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Always-on privileged access is pervasive \u2014 and fraught with risks https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4123184\/always-on-privileged-access-is-pervasive-and-fraught-with-risks.html Publish Date: 2026-01-28 04:32:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207481,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/4123184-0-62807300-1769592707-shutterstock_2270863967.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207482,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207480\/revisions\/207482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
