Identity security
Stop a legitimate or compromised identity from reaching too much data, for too long, without anyone noticing.
A data breach is not always an authentication failure. More often, an identity holds access that is valid but too powerful, too durable, insufficiently monitored, or used in an abnormal context.
Incident analysed Salesloft/Drift: when an OAuth token turns a SaaS integration into a front door
Before discussing exfiltration, you need to answer a simple question: who, human or non-human, can read which data, and why does that right still exist?
Entitlement governance provides that visibility, makes it reviewable, and lets you remove what is no longer justified without blocking the business.

Complementary capabilities directly involved
Each risk maps to a precise IAM capability, not to a generic product.
Governance
What answers it : Make entitlements readable, tie them to a need, review them and remove what no longer serves a purpose.
Make access rights to sensitive data visible, justifiable and reviewable.
Identity governanceNon-human identities
What answers it : Inventory those identities, narrow their scopes, rotate their secrets and trace their usage.
Frame the privileged access and secrets that unlock entire volumes of data.
Privileged access and secretsAuthorization
What answers it : Evaluate the decision at runtime: resource, sensitivity, relationship, context and requested volume.
Decide at the moment of the action, based on resource, sensitivity, context and requested volume.
Fine-grained authorizationSessions and tokens
What answers it : Shorten lifetimes, restrict scopes, bind the session to context and make revocation fast.
Control the sessions, tokens, scopes and third-party integrations that reach the data.
Access management and CIAMMonitoring
What answers it : Instrument usage and volume signals, and feed them into existing monitoring.
Detecting abnormal access to dataAccess paths
What answers it : Measure the real access paths to sensitive data and cut the unnecessary hops.
Measure the access paths that lead, step by step, to critical data stores.
Identity and Active Directory securityAgents and automations
What answers it : Frame what those identities can read, aggregate and pass on, and trace each of their actions.
AI agent protectionPerfectly legitimate access can turn into an exfiltration channel. We analyse real incidents to understand which IAM controls could have broken the attack chain or reduced its impact.
March – August 2025
More than 700 organisations affected by stolen OAuth tokens tied to Drift integrations. A trusted application, a valid credential, and human authentication is no longer the relevant barrier.
Three frequent situations where the access used was perfectly valid.
A tool connected to your SaaS holds a broad token, granted once and never reassessed since.
Scopes, lifetime, revocation
After three internal moves, someone holds access to data scopes unrelated to their current role.
Review, removal, least privilege
An authorised account reads in a few hours what it usually reads in a year.
Volume, signal, response
Start from the data that is genuinely sensitive, then work back to the identities and rights that reach it.
To keep reading on situations that touch the same surface: technical identities, standing privileges, APIs and application access.
Access and privileges
Replace permanent administrative rights with proportionate, temporary and traceable access.
Access and privileges
Take back control of legacy technical identities: their owners, their secrets and their privileges.
Identity security
Understand how one identity, one delegation or one misconfiguration can lead all the way to your most sensitive resources.
A short format, already online, to get an objective view of your situation before committing to a project.
Useful when protecting data means deciding case by case instead of granting broad rights.
Helps situate your control of the access that unlocks the most data at once.
