What Good Identity Hardening Looks Like

Huntress guidance defines mature identity hardening beyond baseline MFA, covering exception cleanup and detecting identity configuration drift before attackers do.

Huntress argues MFA is only a starting point and outlines what mature identity hardening actually looks like in practice. The guidance covers closing MFA exceptions and coverage gaps that create unauthenticated attack paths. It also stresses catching identity configuration drift before attackers can exploit it.

• MFA alone is described as only the starting line for identity security
• Guidance covers closing MFA exceptions and coverage gaps
• Detecting identity drift early prevents attacker exploitation
• Practices target reduction of identity-based attack paths
