Choose one privileged identity in your environment and look beyond whether it uses MFA. Ask what it can access after authentication, whether that access is actually necessary, what behavior you’re monitoring, and how quickly you could revoke its active sessions if it were compromised.

Trust is necessary. Permanent trust isn’t.
