"They used to try to take over your network, your devices, your systems. Now, if they could just take over your identity, they've got everything." That's Scott Hennon, CISO of Cetera Financial Group, on why identity is what attackers are truly after. Identity doesn't sit in one place anymore. It's spread across cloud, SaaS, and AI, and a lot of it isn't even human. It's agents, service accounts, and MCP servers that nobody fully maps. You can't investigate what you can't see, and most teams only see part of it. Scott is just as direct speaking with Brian Contos on the agentic SOC. He'll trust one when it works like a senior analyst, detecting, responding, and closing out risk without a human standing over it. Until then, "it has to show me first." Show the work. Get it done fast. Assume someone gets in. You don't have to assume impact. That's the idea behind Zero-Impact Breach Prevention: seeing identity and activity across cloud, SaaS, and AI in one place and containing an threat before it becomes a breach that matters. Let them come. Watch the full conversation with Scott below. What's the hardest identity to account for in your environment right now: the human ones or the ones you never meant to create?
