The Rise of Identity-Based Breaches & Attack Path Management

In 2025, over 80% of enterprise breaches start with a compromised identity. Not malware or zero-days, just valid credentials. Attackers log in, inherit active sessions, and move laterally through misconfigurations and overprivileged accounts. With breakout times now measured in minutes, traditional security controls are often too slow to stop them.

Attack Path Management changes the lens from “who has access to what” to “how could an attacker move?” By mapping real paths from low privilege to critical systems across hybrid environments, organizations can remove hidden privilege chains, reduce identity-driven risk, and shift from reactive detection to proactive defense.
