The Identity Cyber Kill Chain

It’s obvious there are some problems in identity security to be solved, but the question remains: How do we better protect ourselves? Managing identities with IGA, IAM, and PAM solutions and following best practices really does make a difference to the security posture of an organization. To best understand how, we must first learn from our collective past mistakes and embrace the knowledge of others who have tamed the path. The best example of this is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. In fairness, this framework is a must read for all aspiring cybersecurity professionals and does provide a foundation for many of the concepts we will be discussing and impacts many regulatory compliance initiatives like GDPR and HIPAA.
