- 5Locked out of new network switches because the consultant leftWhen an external consultant configures network gear and leaves without handing over the login credentials, incoming administrators are completely locked out of the equipment. This prevents anyone from managing the infrastructure or performing basic upkeep until the original configurator returns.
- 5Do mandatory passkeys bypass traditional two-factor authentication?Mandatory passkeys can completely bypass traditional two-factor authentication with a single button click if a computer is left unlocked. This leaves systems vulnerable to internal actors and agents that can inflict damage regardless of scoped access or marketing claims about sandboxing.
- 3How do you manage accounts and passwords that don't use SSO?Break-glass accounts, contractor logins, and apps without SAML or OIDC often end up scattered in shared vaults, duplicated across teams, or owned by someone who leaves the company. Without a way to rotate, audit, or assign clear ownership, these credentials become a compliance risk and a single point of failure during critical deadlines.
