Introduction
Calling identity the new perimeter is only useful if you can answer a simple question: who can do what, right now, across the systems that matter.
Stale accounts, overlapping roles, and unmanaged service identities sit in the same path as your best-designed MFA. Attackers look for the forgotten path, not the advertised one.
Start with a live inventory
PCS treats that inventory as an operational surface: visible, owned, and current enough to support both access and incident response.
- 01
People, machines, workflows
A practical identity programme starts with who and what can still act — including service identities nobody reviews.
- 02
Attach review to owners
Access reviews belong with the people who own the workflow, not a yearly batch with no context.
- 03
Use it in response
When an incident starts, the same inventory has to tell you which accounts still matter.
