Unified Security Surface
A Unified Security Surface is the principle of treating IAG, Access Management, and PAM as one interconnected security system rather than separate silos.
Definition
A Unified Security Surface is an architectural and governance view according to which identity governance, access management, and privileged access management must be designed and monitored together. The purpose is to prevent blind spots, privilege escalation chains, and lateral movement across identity platforms.
The Ariovis perspective
Privileged security should begin by reducing standing privilege, governing accounts and automating grants and revocations. Vaults, bastions and session controls are reserved for the use cases that genuinely need them.
