\nIdentity has overtaken endpoints as the primary attack vector, driving threat actors to focus on gaining and maintaining initial access to organizations. Enterprises must adopt an assumed-compromise mindset and plan for the likelihood that identities themselves will eventually be compromised, said Sarah Armstrong Smith, executive director at Secure Horizons.See Also: Why HSMs Are Critical to Digital Asset Security
\nOrganizations often understand cybersecurity principles but still approach them primarily from an IT perspective, even though cybersecurity should be treated as an enterprisewide risk rather than just an IT issue, Armstrong-Smith said.
\n“When we look at the collective resilience, we need to look cross sector, cross industry and say as a whole, from a society perspective, ‘How resilient are we to some of the cyberthreats that we’re seeing and how those threats are going to continue to scale and continue to escalate?'” she said.
\nIn this video interview with Information Security Media Group at the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit, Armstrong-Smith also discussed: <\/p>\n

Why overconfidence in backup strategies creates a false sense of security;
\nThe difference between operational resilience and collective resilience across sectors;
\nWhy security leaders must shift from infrastructure-focused conversations to a people-first mindset.<\/p>\n

With three decades of experience in cybersecurity, Armstrong-Smith delivers transformative strategies to help organizations build resilience to digital disruptions and global crises. She previously was chief security advisor at Microsoft and group head of crisis management and resilience at London Stock Exchange Group.<\/p>\n
