Over the past decade, a paradigm shift has taken place in cyber security.  As corporate technologies have developed at pace, organisations have moved on from tight controllable perimeters, guarding all services, devices, and users within secure on-premises networks, to a largely cloud-based approach. 

When rich, sensitive data exists in the cloud, the primary means of protecting your organisation from cyber threat actors hinges on one factor: identity. It is, in many ways, the new security perimeter.

To tackle the responsibilities, vulnerabilities, and potential threats associated with identity, it’s essential that your security tools are configured with best practice in mind, and mistakes are identified and resolved.

Sneak Preview

In its report 2024 Trends in Security Digital Identities, the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA) notes that 90 per cent of organisations have experienced at least one identity-related security incident in the past year alone. This is consistent with 2023’s feedback – the 90 per cent figure having not changed over the last 24 months. However, in 2024 84 per cent of stakeholders that incurred an identity-related breach reported that as a result of the attack, they suffered a direct business impact, and this figure is up from 2023, wherein only 68 per cent of stakeholders saw such an impact.

Identity security should be considered a core tenet of your overall cyber security strategy; not only are identity attacks a consistent threat, their impact is becoming a greater concern as malicious actors refine their approach and potential impact worsens.
