Identity security: The must-have checklist for government agency attack readiness

Tabla de contenido

This quick-read checklist provides a streamlined audit of your agency's defense capabilities to help you secure every identity — human, non-human, and AI agents alike. By shifting focus from legacy firewalls to credentials, you can proactively close security gaps and automate real-time responses to modern, identity-based attacks targeting critical infrastructure and public services.

Reference this guide to strengthen your posture across the three stages of an attack:

Pre-attack: Proactively eliminate misconfigurations within complex government IT environments and reduce your attack surface by validating both human personnel and non-human identities, such as service accounts and API keys.

During attack: Implement phishing-resistant authentication and automated inline responses to detect anomalies, prevent fraud, and contain threats across agency networks in real time.

Post-attack: Build identity resilience through incident forensics, map controls to strict government frameworks (e.g., NIST), and establish continuous feedback loops to maintain public trust.
