Identity Security: The Evolving Threat Landscape

Despite significant investments in advanced technologies and employee training programs, credential and user-based attacks remain alarmingly prevalent, accounting for 50-80% of enterprise breaches. While identity-based attacks continue to dominate as the leading cause of security incidents, the common approach to identity security threats is still threat reduction, implementing layers of controls to reduce risk while accepting that some attacks will succeed. This methodology relies on detection, response, and recovery capabilities to minimize damage after a breach has already occurred, but it does not prevent the possibility of successful attacks.

The Limitations of Traditional Identity Security

The traditional focus on risk reduction has led to a paradigm shift in the way organizations approach identity security. However, this approach has limitations. It does not prevent the possibility of successful attacks and relies on detection, response, and recovery capabilities to minimize damage after a breach has already occurred.

A New Paradigm: Modern Authentication Technologies

Fortunately, there is a solution that marks a true paradigm shift: modern authentication technologies. With these advancements, the complete elimination of identity-based threats is now within reach. This groundbreaking technology moves us beyond the traditional focus on risk reduction, offering organizations a more secure and adaptable approach to access control.

How Beyond Identity Works

Beyond Identity transforms risk insights into actionable access decisions by integrating signals from the customer’s existing security stack (such as EDR, MDM, and ZTNA tools) alongside native telemetry. This enables organizations to create policies tailored precisely to their business needs and compliance requirements, ensuring a secure and adaptable approach to access control.

Eliminating Identity Attacks in Your Organization

You likely already have an identity solution in place and may even use MFA. However, these systems are still vulnerable, and attackers are well aware of how to exploit them. Identity-based attacks remain a significant threat, targeting these weaknesses to gain access.

With Beyond Identity, you can harden your security stack and eliminate these vulnerabilities. Our phishing-resistant authentication solution ensures both user identity and device compliance, providing deterministic, cutting-edge security.
