We have been in an era where personal identity has crossed over into our professional identities. Organizations have to protect their investments, products, resources and intellectual property from malicious actors as well as employees, who are at the end of the day, people. In the same breath people have to safeguard themselves against organizations and the new fad of the moment whether they want to or not.

It no longer matters if it is simpler now to replace or wipe a device that has become infected with malware or pwned, as now the digital identities we all have invested significant time in creating become more and more at risk.
