Legacy anti-patterns

Legacy IAM Pattern

A legacy IAM pattern is an access or identity design that still works operationally but no longer matches modern security expectations.

Definition

A legacy IAM pattern is an identity, authentication, authorization, or privileged access design inherited from previous generations of information systems. It may remain functional, but it usually provides weaker contextual control, weaker traceability, lower agility, or higher operational risk than modern identity-driven and policy-driven approaches.

The Ariovis perspective

Ariovis does not modernize an anti-pattern by adding another tool. The first step is to understand the process, ownership and operating weakness, then simplify the target before automating it.

These concepts matter most inside a real project.
