What You’ll Learn
- Understand the most common types of identity-based attacks
- How cybercriminals can crack passwords to impersonate users and gain access to sensitive data
- Why it is important to implement strategies such as strengthening password policies and adopting Zero Trust principles
Identity-based attacks involve the unauthorized use of someone’s identity to gain access to systems, networks, or data. The increase in remote work and the popularization of software-as-a-service (SaaS) identity and access management (IAM) solutions makes it easier for cybercriminals to target individuals and organizations. By understanding the nature of these attacks and implementing identity protection strategies, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to these threats.
