Identity Visibility in 2026: The Foundation of Identity Security

Identity visibility serves as a foundation for modern identity security, particularly because stolen and misused credentials remain among the most frequent initial access vectors in breach research. Cloud and multicloud environments introduce complexity to establishing and maintaining effective identity visibility. The article examines what identity visibility entails within identity and access management (IAM) and identifies key capabilities needed to address these challenges.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to prioritize identity visibility as a control because credential theft remains a primary breach vector, and cloud environments amplify visibility gaps that attackers exploit.
