Identity Security

Identity and access management (IAM) is a framework of business processes, policies, and technologies that facilitate the management of digital identities to ensure that users only gain access to data when they have the appropriate credentials.

Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help.

Identity and Access Management has never been so important. From securing the workforce and improving employee productivity, to supporting online transactions, payments and media, IAM is foundational. There are more identities than ever before under management, a larger variety of identity types from consumers to workloads, smart devices to contractors - all accessing an ever increasing range of integrated systems, APIs and pieces of data. This sprawling IAM landscape is also under attack - from external adversaries, regulators, malicious insiders and even budget holders - wanting more from...

Identity is the lifeblood of every organization and the top attack vector. Securing every identity - human and machine - is critical for mitigating risk and ensuring business resilience. In The Identity Security Imperative, security leaders finally have a clear guide to understanding and implementing identity security. This book equips you with the insights you need to master the fundamentals, align your security and business goals, and build a resilient, secure tomorrow.

The security perimeter just dissolved. And most organizations don't even know it yet. In early 2026, a security analysis of OpenClaw—the most popular autonomous AI agent framework—scored it 2 out of 100 for security. Ninety-one percent of prompt injection attacks succeeded. The system leaked its core instructions on turn one of testing. Yet over 100,000 developers deployed these agents with shell access, browser control, and API keys to their most sensitive systems. It isn't about chatbots anymore. Autonomous AI agents don't wait for instructions—they pursue goals. They don't operate ...

In 2025, the loudest cyber headlines all pointed to the same quiet truth: the “outside vs. inside” model doesn’t match how compromises actually happen anymore. Attackers don’t need a dramatic front-door breach when they can move through identities, vendors, remote access paths, SaaS platforms, and software supply chains. At the same time, defenders are expected to stay resilient through outages, respond faster than the news cycle, and govern automation and AI that can help—or hurt—at scale. The Attack Surface Is Calling is a curated annual of Bare Metal Cyber’s 2025 Headline ...

Digital fraud is no longer a back-office inconvenience in IT departments. It has become a global emergency affecting governments, businesses, and individuals. Deepfakes, synthetic identities, real-time payment scams, social-engineering kits, and AI-powered crime networks extract billions of dollars from businesses and individuals every year, rapidly eroding confidence in digital systems. The cost is not only financial but also psychological, social, and structural. When people stop trusting digital services, innovation stops with them. I wrote this book for CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, Chief Risk ...

Since the introduction of multi-user computer systems, user authentication has primarily relied on the use of usernames and passwords. To strengthen the authentication process, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires the user to present multiple elements in different categories, or “factors,” as part of an authentication attempt. These factors are something you have, something you know, and something you are.
