CISOs must prioritize Identity and Access Management (IAM) amid increasing digital threats. 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials, making IAM vital for organizational resilience. Effective IAM integrates Zero Trust principles, governance of machine identities, and collaboration with business leaders. Five strategic pillars for IAM success include Zero Trust policies, non-human identity governance, unified controls, AI-driven threat reduction, and board-level education. Future challenges involve decentralized identities and AI threats. Successfully embedding IAM into organizational practices enhances security and drives business value.
