Identity and Access Management (IAM)

This report outlines the importance of Identity and Access Management (IAM) as the modern security perimeter, detailing its governance, control, and monitoring components; it highlights identity-based threats (credential theft, phishing, BEC, and infostealers like Win32.Zbot), the need for identity telemetry and 24×7 monitoring, and recommends mitigations such as phishing-resistant MFA, Active Directory hardening, segmentation, and automated authentication protections, while describing Arctic Wolf’s MDR capabilities and integrations to support IAM security.
