Identity Threat Protection (ITP) helps organizations detect and respond to threats by monitoring identity activity, analyzing risk signals, and applying security controls. This guide covers what identity threat protection is, how it works, its key capabilities, and the best practices organizations can follow to protect identities.

Every IT team managing a mobile workforce eventually hits the same fork in the road: do you manage the whole device, or just the apps that matter? That question sits at the heart of the MDM vs. MAM debate. Getting the answer wrong can mean either locking down employee phones so tightly that people revolt, or leaving corporate data exposed on devices you barely control. Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) solve overlapping problems in very different ways.

It’s not a secret that phishing, stolen credentials, and human error remain some of the easiest ways for attackers to get into an environment. Identity has become one of the biggest attack surfaces for organizations today because sometimes, all an attacker needs to do is log in. That access can come from valid credentials, stolen sessions, exposed tokens, compromised service accounts, or abused application permissions.

A security token is a physical device, digital object, or software credential that helps verify a user's identity before granting access to a system, application, network, or account. Depending on the type, it can generate a one-time password (OTP), store cryptographic credentials, or work with an authentication system to prove that the person requesting access possesses the authorized token.

Password-based authentication is slowly disappearing from the login experience in 2026. Instead, users increasingly authenticate with a fingerprint, device PIN, or security key without typing a password. This is where passwordless authentication and passkeys come in. Built on FIDO2 and WebAuthn, passkeys use cryptographic credentials to make passwordless login simpler for users while reducing exposure to phishing and credential theft. But passkeys are only one part of the picture.

Not every organization that processes personal data has to appoint a Data Protection Officer. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, this duty applies only to Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs), a category the government assigns based on the scale and sensitivity of the data an entity handles. So before you assume your business needs a data protection officer, it helps to know exactly where this obligation begins and ends.
