Why don’t you as the host organization delegate the access management capabilities to your partner organization? …Give them user-friendly tools that allow you to say, ‘Hey, you know what, Tom or John… they’re still working in my organization, but Jane just left the organization.’ So, hey, I can revoke the access because [the host] doesn’t know that Jane has left. I think that’s one way of putting the onus on your partners themselves because they have much more better intimacy in terms of who actually should be having access.

He recommends a holistic identity strategy—extending passwordless authentication and delegated access controls to partners—and warns that unmanaged lingering access and the rise of agentic AI make visibility and granular access management essential for security and operational speed across extended ecosystems.
