Identity Under Attack

Modern attackers don’t break in. They log in.

When attackers use valid credentials, resilience becomes the difference between a contained incident and a full scale business disruption.

This report covers:

- Why identity attacks circumvent quarantine efforts, and what that means for detection and recovery

- How attackers move laterally, turning a single compromised credential into cross-platform access

- Which resilience metrics matter when prevention fails

- What clean, cross platform recovery requires when there’s nothing to isolate
