The Scenario: (In bold) This IAM cybersecurity cartoon features an enraged CHRO confronting a stoic CISO.
Behind them, a whiteboard outlines the pillars of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework—Identification, Authentication, and Authorization.
The punchline, "Fix the IAM — it's auto-onboarding while we're downsizing," perfectly satirizes the disconnect between automated IT security systems and human-centric business realities.
It captures the absurdity of a company where the "Identification" pillar is working so well it's creating digital identities for employees the company no longer wants.
The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Automation Ghost." This cartoon mocks how the modern cyber security landscape is filled with powerful tools that lack the context of human decision-making.
In the rush to achieve seamless integration, organizations often create monsters—systems that perform their tasks with such mindless efficiency that they become a liability.
It is a sharp critique of a world where "Identity and Access Management" has become so automated that it’s effectively running the HR department without a license.
In the modern enterprise, automation doesn't just save time; it ensures that your digital systems can ignore your strategic pivots with 100% efficiency.
