Security breaches often result from inadequate visibility into an organization's assets, identities, and attack paths, rather than sophisticated exploits. When security teams lack clear answers to fundamental questions about existing assets, access permissions, and connections between elements, they are forced to make decisions based on assumptions, creating vulnerabilities. Attackers can then move undetected through modern environments, exploiting these gaps in visibility. By connecting assets, identities, and attack paths into a single view, organizations can gain the visibility needed to make informed decisions and stay ahead of threats. This shift in approach is crucial, as the threat landscape continues to evolve1. So what matters to practitioners is that they prioritize gaining comprehensive visibility into their organization's security posture to effectively defend against breaches.
