The majority of cyberattacks that result in a breach begin with compromised credentials. Example, an attacker who obtains a username and password and uses it to walk through the front door. Identity & Access Management is the layer that makes stolen credentials insufficient on their own. It verifies who a user is before granting access, monitors how that access is used, and enforces the principle that no user should have more access than they need.

What This Layer Covers

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enforced across all user accounts and cloud applications

  • Conditional access policies grant or block access based on identity, device health, location, and sign-in risk

  • Single sign-on (SSO): one set of credentials for all connected applications, centrally managed

  • End-user identity verification confirms user identity before account changes or access grants

  • Self-service password reset: secure, automated account recovery with verified identity confirmation

  • Privileged access management (PAM): controlling, monitoring, and auditing elevated account activity (Compliance tier)

The Fit

How It Fits Into the Platform

Identity & Access Management connects directly to the platform's identity threat detection layer, access events, MFA activity, and sign-in patterns feed continuously into the AI engine, which identifies anomalous behavior and triggers automated investigation or account lockout when signs of compromise appear.

FAQ

Why is multi-factor authentication so important for small businesses?

Multi-factor authentication is the single most impactful security control a small business can implement, requiring attackers to bypass a second verification factor even after obtaining a valid password. Most credential-based cyberattacks are stopped entirely by MFA. Sentinel iQ enforces MFA across all user accounts and monitors authentication activity continuously for signs of compromise.

What is privileged access management (PAM)?

Privileged access management controls and audits access to accounts with elevated permissions such as local administrator accounts and system administration credentials. PAM limits who has privileged access, requires on-demand requests for elevated permissions, and maintains a full audit log of all privileged activity, reducing the blast radius of compromised credentials and satisfying compliance requirements.

How does single sign-on (SSO) improve security?

Single sign-on allows users to authenticate once and access all connected applications without re-entering passwords. SSO improves security by centralizing authentication when a user account is disabled or a password is changed, access to all connected systems is revoked immediately. It also reduces password sprawl, a common source of credential exposure in small business environments.
