The Identity Intelligence Playbook

For years, cybersecurity teams have depended on Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)—IP addresses, domain names, malware hashes—to detect and respond to threats. But as attackers evolve, these traditional signals are proving insufficient. Threat actors now bypass defenses by exploiting one thing defenders often overlook: identity.

Stolen credentials, compromised session cookies, and synthetic identities have become the most valuable assets in a cybercriminal’s arsenal. In fact, IBM’s X-Force reported a 71% surge in the use of stolen credentials as an initial access vector in 2023. In this new threat landscape, CISOs must pivot from an IOCcentric mindset to one that prioritizes identity signals. This playbook provides a framework for using identity-centric digital risk intelligence to proactively detect, attribute, and prevent modern cyber threats.
