Why Access Reviews Fail and How to Stop Rubber-Stamping Risk
About the Security Event
Access reviews are designed to reduce risk, yet in many enterprises they gradually become a compliance formality instead of an effective security control. This session examines how unclear visibility, limited application context and pressure to complete reviews quickly lead to excessive access and overlooked exposure. As access accumulates and accountability weakens, the review process often fails to surface the risks it was meant to address.
The discussion focuses on why access reviews break down in real world environments and what changes when structure, ownership and clear decision context are introduced. Attendees will see how stronger governance, better visibility and defined accountability can turn reviews into a meaningful control that identifies real risk for security teams, auditors and leadership.
