CISA and NSA Checklist for Identity and Access Management Security

In response to the sharp rise in identity-based attacks as more organizations transition to the cloud, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have released new guidelines for securing your Identity and Access Management (IAM).

The criticality of securing identity is compounded by research in 2022 that 80% of attacks leveraged credentials to carry out their breaches of cloud applications and services.
