"Continuous Identity" is the next frontier of access control, with standards like SSE and CAEP providing the critical signals that allow policy engines to make dynamic access decisions. However, as we move toward near-real-time signal evaluation, we face an emerging architectural collision course: the friction between a constant flow of small attribute changes and the limitations of traditional API-based identity lifecycle management.

While real-time authorization is a compelling vision, it introduces significant risks when applied to enterprise-scale environments. This session examines the looming challenge of maintaining identity persistence when a constant flow of near-real-time updates outpaces the rate limits, eventual consistency models, and structural constraints of SaaS identity management APIs. We will analyze the "split-brain" state - where the dynamic authorization layer and the persistent identity store diverge - and why Just-In-Time (JIT) access patterns are often at odds with durable, API-driven lifecycle management.

Join us for a deep dive into these emerging technical frictions. This session provides the architectural awareness necessary to evaluate the trade-offs between signal velocity and data integrity. Attendees will leave with a framework for questioning current system limitations, ensuring their identity strategy is prepared for the high-volume, near-real-time realities of the future.
