Identity security didn’t suddenly fail us. It didn’t break. It just grew apart. Many agile changes started as smart, necessary business decisions – cloud adoption, remote work, SaaS acceleration, mergers and acquisitions – all of which quietly reshaped identity into something far more distributed than it was ever designed to be. Each move solved a real problem in the moment. But collectively, they created something harder to manage: Identity siloes that don’t communicate.

At One Identity, we’re all about our customers, and we thrive on customer opinions. We’d love for you to share your One Identity Active Roles story by sharing a review on PeerSpot and be seen as a thought leader. It’s as quick as a 10-15-minute online survey or a phone call.

The theme at the Gartner IAM Summit conference this year was clear: identity is no longer adjacent to the business. It is the business. That idea showed up in the opening keynote, analyst sessions, hallway conversations, and especially in the gap between how IAM is supposed to work and how it actually works inside most organizations. After a week of listening closely, a few takeaways rose above the noise. We did not see many buzzwords or grand predictions.

The next wave of supply-chain breaches go beyond exploiting software dependencies and weaponize the trust layer between organizations and their vendors/partners. Off-the-shelf toolkits, some of them state-sponsored, are lowering the barrier to entry for third-party compromises. As a result, regulators are hard-coding “continuous verification” into frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Let’s face it, AI is everywhere now. It has moved from novelty to necessity, reshaping the way we work, make decisions and secure our organizations. It guides how we plan trips, shop for essentials and discover information – but one of its most profound impacts is happening across enterprise environments.

We are thrilled to share that John Sileo – award-winning author, cybersecurity expert and President & CEO of The Sileo Group – will take the mainstage as the keynote speaker at One Identity UNITE 2026 in Chicago. John has an incredibly unique perspective to identity security, with a career shaped by personal loss from cybercrime, hard-earned wisdom and a mission to help others protect their digital identities and assets.

Today’s financial institutions face evolving threats on a global scale. Online attackers without expertise (known as ‘script kiddies’) have had access to as-a-service malware for quite some time. AI is being weaponized for social engineering attacks at unprecedented speeds. And along with the potential of monetary rewards, today’s thefts also involve taking something that’s often even more profitable: Data.
