About this tag
Identity security on WindowsForum.com covers the growing challenge of securing identities in enterprise environments, especially as AI agents, bots, and privileged workflows expand the attack surface. Discussions focus on Microsoft Entra recovery, PAM governance, biometrics, and the need for control planes that can authorize autonomous software moving at machine speed. Topics include AI governance for hybrid Microsoft estates, Copilot-era risk checks, and the shift from static directories to living access graphs. The tag also addresses how identity has become the control plane for security, with vendors like Netwrix, Bitdefender, and Keeper pushing new defenses against identity abuse and automation. For Windows admins, the message is that identity security now requires governing both human and non-human actors across the same blast radius.
