Detection fails without identity. When activity isn’t tied to a person, anomalies stop telling a story - they’re just signals without context. And when your logs only show IP addresses, your security team is left responding to shadows, not real risk. In this Threat Talks Deep Dive, Rob Maas (Field CTO, ON2IT) and Nicholai Piagentini (Technical Enablement Engineer, ON2IT) show how identity-based firewalling fixes that-by enforcing policy based on who the user is, not where they connect from.The result: stronger network access control, cleaner zero trust firewall enforcement, and better enterprise security decisions.
