Identity Obfuscation

In the age of identity attack vectors, protecting one’s identity cannot be accomplished solely with a single strategy or product. Organizations need to step up and consider other mitigation strategies outside of identity security that can help, too. There are plenty of opportunities for a threat actor to steal your identity using information technology that we embrace every day. However, there are other mitigating approaches, called identity obfuscation, that can limit a threat actor’s ability to create the critical linkage between account, identity, and data—especially when thinking about synthetic identities.
