Identity-based threats move fast, and your security strategy must move faster. Effective enforcement ensures you can block compromised accounts, engage SOC teams, investigate threats, and shut them down before damage occurs. Enforcement mechanisms—such as adaptive MFA, ITDR, and ISPM—enable rapid action against identity threats. With seamless integration across the entire IAM infrastructure and end-to-end visibility and discovery, enforcement acts to strengthen security by providing continuous monitoring, policy enforcement, and proactive prevention.
With real-time actionability, you can reduce your identity attack surface while ensuring compliance and audit readiness. A proactive and real-time enforcement approach is essential to stopping identity threats before they escalate, keeping your organization secure and resilient.
Enforce: Protect every identity.
Your identity security platform must be able to leverage the full visibility to take prompt action to block unauthorized access, flag a potential risk, and eliminate threats. You want to ensure you can leverage adaptive security controls to remain agile and adjust security controls based on the risk-aware insights from the end-to-end visibility discussed above.
Implement an easy-to-integrate, quick to deploy solution offering enforcement capabilities. Ideally, your identity security platform will include runtime access protection able to analyze events and trigger MFA or other remediation actions when warranted, drive proactive identity attack surface management, and respond in real-time to identity threats.
Action plan

The Identity Security Playbook
Choose an identity security platform that analyzes all access attempts, uncovering exposures and threats in real time. Context-aware analytics and risk-based insights improve security by identifying misconfigurations, over-privileged identities, toxic access, and dormant accounts. Proactively detect missing controls like MFA and mitigate risks across your IAM infrastructure. The right platform provides continuous identity risk assessments, helping you measure and reduce your identity blast radius while strengthening overall security and compliance.
Action plan
Don’t leave any doors open. it’s easy for organizations to lose sight of dormant or redundant accounts, such as those belonging to ex-employees, third-parties, and machines that still provide access to their systems. But attackers can exploit these identities to gain initial access and escalate their privileges to admin level. Or worse, they can take the fast train there by compromising unprotected identities that already have admin privileges. This is why it’s crucial to be able to assess risks, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities in real time. An identity-centric security solution can provide visibility into the behaviors, privileges, and risk profiles of your identities, as well as help you find and secure dormant or redundant accounts. This way, you can shut down potential attack vectors before threat actors find them.
Analyze: Evaluate every access point.
