Furthermore, policy-based access control, whether for network entry or intra-network activities, should
            be  tied  to  accurate,  up-to-date  data.  Implementing  robust  procedures  to  ensure  data  accuracy  and
            continuously auditing and monitoring identity data can thwart attempts to corrupt the system. It's not just
            about building effective access policies anymore; it's about ensuring the underlying data used to enforce
            those policies is rock-solid.


            Overall, in today’s era of advanced persistent threats, security isn't solely about constructing barriers; it's
            about understanding and verifying identities at a granular level across the organization. This approach
            demands meticulous attention to the quality, visibility and continuous monitoring of identity data. Any
            compromise in this aspect does not just signify a loophole—it threatens to unravel the entire fabric of an
            organization's security infrastructure.
