Bridging the 'Agility Gap’ in Cybersecurity: Practical Identity Threat Detection Beyond MFA

Identity has become the new front line of cybersecurity. Yet most organizations remain far less prepared than they realize. 

In a new survey of U.S. IT and security leaders, 82% of respondents agree that identity is now the primary security perimeter. However, when it comes to real-world readiness, confidence drops sharply: only 17% feel extremely confident in their ability to detect and respond to identity-based threats, and just 13% are extremely confident in preventing account takeover and identity fraud. 

So what’s driving this disconnect? 

In this Lunch & Learn webinar, we’ll unpack the latest research and share a practical roadmap to help public sector agencies close the "agility gap" between how modern identity threats operate and how defenses are currently deployed. 

Attendees will learn:

  • Where identity attacks are actually occurring today
  • Why fragmented identity systems remain the #1 barrier to effective protection
  • Real-world examples across both workforce and citizen-facing identity environments
