**Executive Summary:** This blog post surveys the shifting identity security landscape, arguing organisations must bridge identity data (who has what) and runtime behaviour (who is accessing what) for both human and non-human identities; it highlights emerging subdomains (ITDR, ISPM, cloud IGA, PAM), the role of AI in permissions and analytics, and predicts technical and market consolidation as vendors move toward combined data and runtime monitoring and response.
