Most Drupal security strategies focus on protecting user accounts before login. Organizations invest in strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and Single Sign-On (SSO) to prevent unauthorized access. While these controls are important, security risks do not disappear once a user successfully authenticates. Users may remain logged in for extended periods, share credentials with others, access accounts from multiple devices simultaneously, or leave active sessions unattended.

With the growing vulnerability of password-only security systems, your applications, devices, and operating systems would need an authentication system that creates foolproof security. Moreover, as vulnerabilities in cyber ecosystems evolved and password breaches became increasingly common, organizations needed stronger authentication methods to protect sensitive data and user accounts.

Data breaches hit headlines weekly, and phishing scams evolve faster than we can patch them. Amongst this, passwords feel like relics from the dial-up era. Enter passkeys, a modern authentication solution, and a game-changing shift in authentication that's already being made available by giants like Amazon, Google, and Sony Interactive Entertainment. Passkeys promise phishing-resistant, frictionless logins without the endless "password123?" frustration.

Over 93% of organizations are reportedly experiencing two or more identity-related attacks a year due to weak passwords, and at this critical level, organizations are looking out for an additional layer of security with biometric authentication to verify their users. Multi-factor authentication plays an integral role in verifying user identities.

Identity verification helps prevent fraud by requiring would-be fraudsters to verify that they are real people and who they say they are. But what about a user who opens an account with their legitimate ID and selfie and then hands the keys to a bad actor? That’s exactly what happens with identity muling, and this type of second-party fraud can be difficult to detect.

Speakers made it clear that agentic AI is already operating across enterprise workflows. Learn why identity must govern ownership, permissions, actions, and accountability.

ITDR automation best practices close the gap between when identity detection fires and when containment executes. Most programs detect identity attacks reliably but route the response to a human queue, turning active defense into a forensics workflow. Pre-built playbooks tied to high-confidence detection rules, plus protocol-layer blocking, are what convert ITDR from alert generation into attack containment. Identity-based attacks progress in minutes.

Managing users in Atlassian manually, especially with large numbers of users, is time-consuming and error-prone. It’s inconvenient, but more importantly, it introduces major security risks in case an ex-employee still has access. Also, there’s no point in paying for extra licenses. miniOrange User Provisioning for Atlassian addresses this. It synchronizes users, groups, and directories directly from their identity providers into Jira and related Atlassian applications.
