To follow are six critical use cases that a unified identity security platform can tackle. 

Hopefully you now see that identity security isn’t just an operational challenge—it’s a core security priority. Attackers are relentlessly targeting credentials to bypass traditional defenses, making it clear that identity is the new perimeter. Without proactive identity protection, compromised credentials lead to lateral movement, privilege escalation, and full-scale breaches. 

Identity security in action: real-world use cases 

The Identity Security Playbook

Identity security is now a board-level mandate. You need to ensure consistent, enforceable security controls across all identities—human and non-human—without disrupting business operations. A unified identity security strategy strengthens your organization’s risk posture, ensures compliance, and proves to auditors and stakeholders that security isn’t just a checkbox—it’s an active, adaptive defense.

For the CISO:

Your SOC is the nerve center of your organization’s defense, but you can’t detect what you can’t see. With identity-based attacks bypassing network security and endpoint defenses, visibility and control over every identity are critical. By integrating identity security directly into your security stack, you enhance detection, containment, and response—before attackers gain a foothold. 

For the Security Team:

Identity management alone isn’t enough. While IAM, PAM, and IGA play vital roles, they weren’t built to stop real-time attacks. A modern identity security approach bridges the gap between identity and security, enabling proactive threat mitigation without adding complexity or breaking existing workflows.
