Guide to Identity Security Defense-in-Depth

Best Practices for Streamlining Identity Attack Surface Management & Threat Response

Identity and security teams are struggling to keep up with complex, dynamic IT environments and proliferating identities (human and machine). To get by, they end up using disparate identity stores and toolsets, often stretching them beyond legitimate use cases. Threat actors often find it easier to exploit the resultant gaps by hijacking an account or impersonating a trusted employee, rather than hack into a system.

To effectively defend against identity-based attacks, you need a more cohesive, modern approach that streamlines identity security and response with integrated layers of proactive protection. Download our guide to discover practical next steps for establishing identity security defense-in-depth. You'll learn about:

  • The most pressing challenges of modern identity security

  • How to establish identity security defense-in-depth for proactively and reactively defending against identity threats

  • BeyondTrust's single-platform approach to identity security defense-in-depth

"In large organizations, identity systems are typically managed by separate teams spread across IT and engineering—each with their own reporting structures, focuses, and goals. The proliferation of different identity silos creates hidden risks within and between these systems, giving rise to attack pathways that can traverse from one silo to the next."

"Managing identities across a vast expanse of corporate systems is complex. Consequently, identity security is particularly prone to human error and poor security hardening and hygiene practices."
