Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient in today’s hybrid and remote-first work environments. With users accessing data and applications from multiple devices and locations, the network perimeter has virtually disappeared. This opens the door to internal threats, lateral movement by attackers, and unauthorized access to critical assets.

Organizations relying on implicit trust models face increased risk of data breaches, identity theft, and compromised systems. The lack of granular access controls, continuous authentication, and real-time monitoring makes it difficult to secure modern IT ecosystems—especially in scenarios involving third-party vendors, contractors, and cloud services.
