The Importance of Identity and Access Management

This Arctic Wolf whitepaper explains why identity security and IAM are critical as organizations adopt cloud and hybrid models, highlights identity-based threats like BEC, credential theft, and infostealers (noting telemetry such as frequent Win32.Zbot detections), and recommends governance, controls (MFA, RBAC, zero trust), continuous identity monitoring, and best practices to reduce identity-driven risk while describing how Arctic Wolf’s MDR ingests identity telemetry to support detection and response.
