Perimeter plus infinity.
I spent years as a senior firewall engineer and architect. Back then the perimeter was a line you could point to. It has been moving ever since.

The firewall
One line drawn around the network, with everything worth protecting behind it.
-
Shift 02
The user
Work left the building, and identity became something attackers could walk right through.

Shift 03
The policy
Once attackers are inside, they go looking for the cyber insurance policy itself, because knowing a company's coverage tells them how much to demand.

Everything
AI is multiplying the interfaces a company has to defend faster than anyone can count them.
The perimeter isn't a line anymore. It's effectively infinite, and it never stops changing. Perimity exists because insurance still has to price that risk, and it can't do it from a once-a-year questionnaire.
