// Core Pillars

The Identity Security
Framework

Six interconnected disciplines that together form a comprehensive defense strategy against identity-based attacks.

🔐
01 / 06
Identity & Access Management
The core discipline governing who has access to what. IAM systems authenticate, authorize, and audit every user interaction across your infrastructure, from provisioning to deprovisioning.

🛡️
02 / 06
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA blocks over 99.9% of automated credential attacks. Modern implementations combine possession, knowledge, and inherence factors to create near-unbreakable authentication chains.

👑
03 / 06
Privileged Access Management
Privileged accounts are the crown jewels of any organization. PAM enforces least-privilege access, session recording, and just-in-time provisioning for high-value accounts and systems.

Identity Governance
Systematic review and certification of access rights ensures compliance and minimizes attack surface. Governance platforms automate access reviews, SoD policies, and audit trails at scale.

Threat Detection & Response
UEBA and identity threat detection solutions analyze behavioral patterns to identify anomalies — impossible travel, unusual hours, atypical data access — before breaches escalate.

Customer Identity (CIAM)
Balancing security with seamless UX for external users. CIAM platforms handle registration, progressive profiling, consent management, and risk-adaptive authentication at massive scale.

Zero Trust Identity

Never trust, always verify. The Zero Trust model eliminates implicit trust based on network location and demands continuous authentication and authorization.
