WHITE PAPER
Identity Protection In a Digital World: A Comprehensive Guide to Safeguarding Digital Identities & Active Directory

Traditional security controls struggle to detect compromises effectively, especially against sophisticated attackers who can emulate normal user behavior. To address this, organizations employ Identity Protection Solutions, integrating specialized processes with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and other security controls for comprehensive coverage.

Identity protection is essential due to the critical role digital identities play in managing resource access. The primary challenge lies in handling vast amounts of identity-related data and correlating it with indicators of compromise. By disrupting the attacker’s kill chain and detecting threats early, identity protection minimizes the impact of potential breaches.

The best practices in identity protection focus on secure authentication and session management, including multifactor authentication and comprehensive password policies. Risks associated with compromised digital identities include excessive permissions, stale accounts, misconfiguration, and vulnerability exploitation through various techniques like social engineering and malware attacks.
