A breach is underway, or the board just asked what you're doing about identity risk. Either way, the clock is running. A full identity security program takes quarters to build, but the highest-risk identities in every organization are known and can be locked down in weeks. Where do you start, and in what order?
This playbook distills the Idira Identity Security Blueprint into a prioritized 60-day action plan focused on the identities and access paths that represent the greatest blast radius. Across three sequenced stages, it covers securing high-value targets like cloud, domain, and hypervisor administrators, locking down persistent access on the most commonly exploited technology platforms, and enforcing least privilege directly at the endpoint. Aligned to the NIST incident response lifecycle and built on two decades of Palo Alto Networks and Unit 42 frontline experience, the playbook gives security leaders a defensible sequence for rapid risk reduction across human, machine, and AI agent identities.
