Identity Security

Least privilege identity is the security practice of granting users and service accounts the minimum permissions necessary to perform a specific task for a limited time.

Continuous access revalidation is an identity security mechanism that monitors the validity of a user's session in real-time, rather than relying solely on the security checks performed at initial.

WebAuthn is a web standard developed by the W3C and FIDO Alliance that enables robust, phishing-resistant authentication using public key cryptography instead of traditional passwords.

A cryptographic signing boundary is the logical and physical segmentation of keys used for token issuance.

Verify Before Approve (VBA) is an identity security pattern that requires users to provide a cryptographically signed confirmation of a specific transaction's details, not just their identity.

Adaptive authentication functions as a dynamic gatekeeper that adjusts access requirements based on real-time risk telemetry.

Identity threat detection is a security layer that analyzes authentication logs and user behavioral signals to identify malicious intent, allowing teams to filter out routine noise and prioritize.

An identity security assessment is a technical audit of an organization's IAM infrastructure, focused on identifying misconfigurations in authentication protocols (OIDC/SAML), token lifecycles.

Use this playbook during M&A integration projects, before scheduled compliance audits, or whenever you need to identify misconfigured OIDC settings and dormant accounts in your identity providers.
