Identity blind spots: How they quietly expand your attack surface

Most organisations have an identity strategy. Few have continuous visibility into what it actually covers. Access is structured. Roles are assigned. Policies are in place. Everything looks under control on paper.
Still, when we look at identity environments in practice, the same blind spots appear. They matter because 97% of identity attacks target exactly this layer: credentials, accounts, and access.
Inactive and orphaned identities that still hold access and consume licenses long after anyone needs them
Standing privileges and administrative access that is broader than intended, expanding the blast radius of any single compromise
MFA coverage that is incomplete or inconsistent
Over-privileged applications and service principals with no clear owner.
Nothing is broken. But these gaps quietly expand your attack surface, and they sit outside what most IAM tools are built to show you.
In this 30-minute session, you will see where visibility breaks down, how these gaps build up over time, and why they tend to be the gaps that matter most.
Based on patterns we see across hundreds of identity environments.
