Securing Your Largest Attack Vector: Identity

Common identity-based cyberattacks and how to protect your organization against them

As traditional network perimeters fade, identity has become the new frontline in cybersecurity. From phishing and credential stuffing to MFA fatigue and SIM swapping, attackers now exploit users more than systems. Entrust outlines why passwords and legacy MFA are no longer enough—and how high-assurance, phishing-resistant identity solutions like certificate-based authentication and passkeys can close the gap. By adopting adaptive risk-based authentication and step-up identity verification, agencies can strengthen defenses where threats most often begin.
