Identity security posture: The must-have checklist for attack readiness

This quick-read checklist provides a streamlined audit of your defense capabilities to help you secure every identity—human, non-human, and AI agents alike. By shifting focus from the firewall to your credentials, you can proactively close security gaps and automate real-time responses to modern, identity-based attacks.

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

• Pre-attack: Proactively eliminate misconfigurations and reduce your attack surface by validating both human and non-human identities, such as service accounts and API keys.
• During attack: Implement phishing-resistant authentication and automated inline responses to detect and contain threats in real time.
• Post-attack: Build resilience through incident forensics and continuous feedback loops to fine-tune your security responses.
