Pathways to Identity Security Success Whitepaper

Identity is now the number one attack vector. Nine in ten organizations suffered an identity-related breach in the past year, and 89% of Unit 42 investigations traced material identity weaknesses at the root. How do security leaders build a program that defends against adversaries who no longer break in, they log in?

This whitepaper provides the full methodology behind the Idira Identity Security Blueprint, a prescriptive framework for building an effective identity security program. Readers will learn how to disrupt the identity attack chain at its three most common stages, assess identity risk using the combined factors of privilege level, scope of influence, and ease of compromise, and prioritize initiatives through a risk-effort index that maximizes risk reduction per unit of effort. Built on two decades of Palo Alto Networks and Unit 42 frontline experience, the Blueprint extends across human, machine, and AI agent identities and guides organizations from current state to a customized, risk-based roadmap.
