Closing the Identity Gap in Security Solutions

This white paper discusses the limitations of legacy security solutions in addressing identity verification in digital security. It outlines how traditional tools such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) focus on credential validation rather than confirming the identity of the individual using those credentials. The paper highlights the increasing prevalence of identity-based attacks, including credential theft and AI-enhanced social engineering, which exploit the assumption that the person presenting a credential is the rightful owner. It details the challenges posed by automated brute force attacks and deepfake technology, emphasizing the need for continuous person-based verification to enhance security measures. Mimoto's approach is presented as a solution that shifts the paradigm from credential trust to person trust, offering a new layer of identity verification that integrates with existing security frameworks to better protect organizations from identity-based threats.
