The bottom turn is the foundation of performance surfing, the cornerstone of every maneuver you make on the wave. Without a solid bottom turn, your surfing will be akin to a house built on sand. The bottom turn is a dynamic maneuver that must be adapted to the conditions of the wave. In cybersecurity, this can be seen as the organization's need to adapt its security measures to the evolving threat landscape.
The steady drumbeat of new data breaches is increasing despite the growing number of security tools and compliance frameworks. Absolute security is an illusion. New cybersecurity technologies and certifications are failing to protect even the most security focused organizations. Each new tool and framework offers incremental improvements that inevitably fail as attackers quickly adapt with new breach methods. Deploying new security tools is expensive and complex, attacking them is cheap and easy. Mastering the bottom turn in cybersecurity is the best defense, but how can you adapt quickly without drowning in cost and complexity?
Digital identity is the security perimeter and the first target for attackers. Digital identity orchestration is the bottom turn in cybersecurity. It automates change allowing your organization to adapt faster than attackers. It replaces expensive slow moving integration of new security tools with intelligent automation that reduces the cost and complexity of cyber security in your organization. Data breaches are inevitable, and the need for new defense tools will persist, but digital identity orchestration will help your organization master the bottom turn for maximum cybersecurity agility.
