The Growing Threat of Identity-Based Attacks
Identity is becoming an increasingly attractive target for attackers. Recent statistics show a disturbing trend:
- Pervasiveness: Identity-based attacks are now central to many cyberattacks, with five of the top ten MITRE ATT&CK tactics related to compromised identities.
- Rising Attacks: There has been a 75% rise in attacks that use stolen credentials or remote tools.
- Detection Challenges: Attacks using stolen credentials can take an average of 292 days to detect. Adversaries use valid credentials to move laterally across systems undetected.

- Faster Detection: Detection of identity attacks is up to 85% faster, potentially saving around 5,000 investigation hours.

Key Features and Benefits
Falcon Identity Protection offers a unified approach to identity security, protecting endpoints and identities with a single agent. This integrated solution provides:
- AI-Driven Identity Security: This feature automatically establishes baselines for typical user behavior, quickly identifying and neutralizing anomalous and sophisticated identity-based threats.
- Unified Identity and Endpoint Security: The same agent is deployed for immediate value, offering complete visibility and protection across all attack paths. This improves response times and stops modern adversaries.
- Comprehensive Protection: The platform offers complete visibility and real-time protection across Active Directory, cloud identity providers (such as Entra ID and Okta), your SaaS applications, and includes industry-leading threat intelligence.
- Real-time Lateral Movement Prevention: It blocks adversaries’ lateral movements across authentication layers and endpoints, improving response times and preventing the need to manually search through logs.
- Dynamic, Risk-Based Conditional Access: This feature continuously monitors user behavior and risk. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is dynamically enforced when a change of risk is detected, extending MFA coverage seamlessly to legacy systems and protocols.
Seamless Integration and Managed Services
Falcon Identity Protection is designed for seamless integration with existing security infrastructure. Customers can easily connect with MFA providers, SIEM, and SOAR technologies using APIs for a cohesive security strategy. Additionally, 24/7 Managed Detection and Response services are available to provide continuous monitoring and expert threat hunting, ensuring constant protection against potential threats.
