Here, the cybersecurity industry splits itself between architectural theory and tactical reality. One side insists that in a cloud-native world, identity is the only perimeter that matters. They argue that if you verify the user, the wire becomes irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>But this ignores a brutal truth. For an adversary to log in, they first need a place to stand. We have confused the user\u2019s mobility with the infrastructure\u2019s stability. While a remote user needs a temporary session to work, an adversary needs a persistent foothold to stay. By neglecting the edge, organizations have inadvertently provided that staging ground.<\/p>\n<p>Our mounting technology debt is the prime evidence of this failure. We have chased zero trust software while leaving unpatched, end-of-life hardware to rust at the gate. These devices are not just old gear. They are donated assets that allow state-aligned actors to bypass identity controls entirely and sit, unmonitored, on the very fabric of the network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4137598\/the-cyber-perimeter-was-never-dead-we-just-abandoned-it.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cyber perimeter was never dead.
