The Identity Intelligence Playbook – A Practical Guide for CISOs and Security Teams Navigating Identity-Centric Risk

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.

2023 Identity Breach Report

Constella’s threat intelligence team continuously collects identity records from data breaches and leakages found in open sources, on the surface, social, deep, and dark web, to track data related company breaches and the specific personally identifiable information (PII) exposed that represents a risk to organizations and their employees and customers.

Your brand is much more than a trademark or a website. It includes your online presence as well as physical locations, your relationship with customers, and the trust those customers place in your goods and services. Whether you realize it or not, your brand faces a wide range of threats that exist outside your network perimeter to target your customers, business, and operations: Malicious domains, impersonation profiles, counterfeit products, exposed intellectual property, disgruntled insiders, and physical attacks against employees and facilities.
