The obsession with software vulnerabilities ignores the reality that valid credentials remain the most efficient path for any attacker. We focus heavily on patching code because it feels like a technical victory, yet we often overlook the identity layer where the actual damage occurs. When a system is compromised, it is rarely because the wall was breached. It is because someone walked through the front door with a key they were never supposed to hold. Security teams must shift their focus from scanning lines of code to monitoring the intent behind every authenticated session. If we want to stay ahead of these threats, we have to stop treating identity as a secondary concern.
