In recent years, the cybersecurity threat landscape has transformed significantly with identity-based attacks emerging as one of the most dominant threat vectors.


Where traditional attacks focused on exploiting technical vulnerabilities in systems and applications, modern threat actors recognize that compromising user identities provides direct access to the most valuable organizational assets with significantly less technical complexity.


According to threat research conducted specifically on identity-related security incidents by eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU), there has been a dramatic shift in adversarial tactics, moving from traditional asset-focused cyberattacks to sophisticated identity-centric campaigns that can bypass traditional security controls.
