This eBook explores why identity is the primary attack surface — and how organizations can move beyond backup to true identity resilience.

Identity systems like Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta are the control plane of your business — powering authentication, access, and operations across every application and environment.

But they’re also the #1 target for attackers.

With the majority of breaches tied to compromised credentials, traditional approaches to identity protection and recovery are no longer enough.

**To stay resilient, organizations must move beyond identity protection to identity resilience.**

- How attackers exploit credentials to move laterally and evade detection
- The operational and financial impact of identity-based attacks
