Cyber Resilience Briefing — April 28, 2025

Executive briefing: Organisations consolidating identity stacks for passwordless access are confronting legacy federation, device posture gaps, and partner risk. Zeph Tech is coordinating verifier upgrades, conditional access analytics, and privileged session recording so security leaders can deliver a resilient trust fabric across SaaS, IaaS, and on-premises estates.

Key industry signals

Zero trust architecture expectations. NIST SP 800-207 underscores continuous evaluation of user, device, and workload context—principles now embedded in regulator and customer assessments.
Cloud Controls Matrix alignment. The Cloud Security Alliance’s CCM v4 IAM-09 control requires documented conditional access policies and continuous monitoring for identity threats across providers.
Passkey adoption accelerates. The FIDO Alliance reports broad platform support for passkeys, making phishing-resistant authentication practical for workforce and customer journeys.

Control alignment

NIST SP 800-207. Update policy engines so decisions incorporate device health, geolocation, and workload sensitivity in real time.
CSA CCM IAM-09. Document conditional access baselines per tenant and align monitoring to identity threat detection signals.

Detection and response priorities

Alert on impossible travel events or repeated passkey fallbacks that may indicate targeted social engineering.
Correlate privileged session recordings with access review outcomes to accelerate remediation of risky entitlements.

Enablement moves

Deliver a change calendar sequencing identity cutovers alongside payroll, finance, and customer release windows to minimise business disruption.
Host enablement clinics so application owners learn how to integrate with the new trust broker and register device posture signals.
