The idea of identity as the new perimeter for cybersecurity has been part of the conversation for acouple of years. The truth is that identity has always been a perimeter. Historically, cybersecurity experts did not apply multiple security controls like firewalls or encryption tothe identity perimeter because we could protect it by adding additional layers of security to our outerdefenses. We didn’t need to protect identity at its source because we could safely rely on our outerdefenses, like a castle reliant on its moat. Now, however, we can no longer depend on those outer defenses. Because identity is disseminatedacross so many platforms, devices, and applications, the identity perimeter is exposed, and we need newand better ways to protect it. Traditional perimeter protections are simply inadequate to defend identityagainst today’s increasingly sophisticated and effective attacks. Ongoing digital transformation has created a convergence of users, devices, and applications thatdemands an identity-based security approach. To meet the security challenges of this new ecosystem,companies are developing new ways to authenticate identity and authorize users accordingly. In thissense, identity is the gatekeeper, determining who gets what kind of access based on what data. In this guide, you’ll learn more about the relationship between identity and perimeter security, themethods used to attack identity, and new tactics and strategies for securing identity.

CDM has prescribed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to provide cybersecurity monitoring and control of endpoint devices. EDR spans the full cybersecurity lifecycle, from the detection of events (observable occurrences in a network or system) and incidents (events that has been determined to have an impact on the organization prompting the need for response and recovery) on endpoint devices (workstations, servers, laptops, thin clients, and virtual desktops) and users, to attack responses and incident follow-up and analysis.
