In cybersecurity, mitigation strategies have long been deployed to manage risks and protect networks from breaches. These strategies range from firewalls and intrusion detection systems to complex encryption methods and multi-layered authentication processes. However, as ineffective as these solutions have been historically, the advent of digital identifications and direct user interaction has fundamentally changed the game. Many traditional mitigation strategies are now either redundant or completely irrelevant. This chapter explores the specific mitigation techniques that are rendered obsolete by the deployment of digital IDs and direct user interaction.
