This whitepaper explores the convergence of data security and identity management as the primary attack surfaces in modern cloud environments. It highlights how rapid data growth, AI adoption, and the rise of non-human identities increase security complexity. Traditional siloed approaches to data and identity protection are no longer effective, leading to fragmented visibility and increased risk. The paper advocates for a unified, data-and-identity-centric security model that aligns access controls with data sensitivity. By integrating identity context with data discovery and classification, organizations can enforce least privilege, improve visibility, and better protect sensitive information while supporting secure AI adoption and evolving business needs.
