This article discusses the challenges associated with Incident Response (IR) and the critical role of identifying compromised user accounts in containing and mitigating cyber attacks. It introduces Silverfort’s Unified Identity Protection Platform, highlighting how its real-time Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and identity segmentation address blind spots and accelerate the IR process, ultimately preventing costly breaches.

From the meeting notes, it is clear that incident response (IR) is time-critical and often involves discovering compromised user accounts, which can be challenging and time-consuming. The meeting notes delve into three identity IR gaps and introduce Silverfort’s Unified Identity Protection Platform as a solution.

The platform’s real-time multifactor authentication (MFA) and identity segmentation aim to address the identified gaps and make a difference in containing incidents and preventing costly breaches. The platform is described as being able to detect compromised accounts, contain attacks using MFA and block access policies, and eliminate exposed weaknesses in the identity attack surface.

The meeting notes stress the importance of gaining identity IR capabilities, emphasizing that compromised accounts are a key component in over 80% of cyber attacks, making the risk of being targeted nearly certain.
