‹ Cisco Identity Security Series
Identity security starts with visibility.
Most organizations don’t rely on a single identity provider. Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Duo, Okta and other identity platforms each play a critical role in managing access.
Cisco Identity Intelligence helps organizations close these visibility gaps by providing a unified view of identities, access and risk across multiple identity providers. Working with ConRes, organizations can better understand their identity attack surface, detect identity threats sooner, and make more informed security decisions.

The questions security leaders can’t always answer
The challenge is that identities, authentication data and risk signals often remain segmented across multiple systems. As identity environments become more complex, security leaders can struggle to answer fundamental questions:
- Do we know every identity in our environment?
- Where are our highest-risk accounts?
- Are we detecting identity compromise early enough?
- Which identities create unnecessary business risk?
The perimeter moved. It’s now identity.
Attackers don’t break in. They log in.
The identity challenge security leaders can no longer ignore. Identity has become the preferred attack path for modern adversaries—stolen credentials, compromised accounts and privilege misuse let attackers access systems while appearing to be legitimate users. For many organizations, the challenge is not a lack of identity tools; it is a lack of visibility across them. Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Duo, Okta and other platforms each provide valuable identity controls, but security teams are often forced to investigate activity across multiple consoles, dashboards and data sources, so identity risk can be difficult to identify before it becomes a security incident. Cisco Identity Intelligence brings identity telemetry together across identity providers, creating a single view of user activity, authentication events and risk indicators—helping security teams detect compromised credentials, identify MFA gaps and uncover suspicious behavior faster.
Learn how identity-based attacks bypass traditional defenses and why visibility across identity providers is critical to reducing risk.

Your identity attack surface is bigger than you think.
Every identity provider increases complexity and risk. The modern identity ecosystem extends well beyond employees. Service accounts, machine identities, cloud workloads, contractors and third-party users all require access to business resources. At the same time, organizations continue to add new identity providers and authentication systems—and while each platform solves a specific challenge, security teams often lose visibility across the broader identity landscape. The result is identity sprawl: unmanaged identities, dormant accounts, excessive permissions and disconnected authentication systems that create blind spots, increase risk and expand the identity attack surface.
Cisco Identity Intelligence helps organizations discover identities across multiple platforms, identify risky accounts and establish a comprehensive view of identity exposure. By correlating identity and authentication data across providers, security teams can reduce investigation time, strengthen governance and improve overall security posture.
You Can’t Protect What You Can’t See
Most organizations have more identities than they realize — employees, contractors, service accounts, applications and cloud platforms. Every one of them plays a role in your security strategy.
The challenge isn’t creating identities. It’s understanding how they’re being used across your environment. When identity information is spread across multiple systems, it becomes harder to answer basic questions: Who has access? What can they access? Does that access still make sense? Are there accounts no one is managing?
Without those answers, security teams spend more time investigating and less time reducing risk.
Why identity visibility matters
- Find unnecessary access
- Detect unusual activity sooner
- Improve identity governance
- Support Zero Trust initiatives
- Make faster security decisions
Why work with ConRes?
Identity security starts with visibility. ConRes helps organizations understand who has access across their environment and identify opportunities to strengthen identity governance — whether you’re managing Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory or other identity platforms. Better visibility leads to better decisions and a stronger security posture.
Your Security Tools Should Work Together
Most organizations have already invested in security — firewalls, endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication and identity platforms. The challenge isn’t having enough security tools. It’s making sure they work together.
When security information stays in separate systems, teams lose valuable time trying to understand what’s happening. That can make it harder to identify suspicious activity and respond quickly when something doesn’t look right.
A stronger security strategy starts with giving your security tools the information they need to make smarter decisions.
Why shared identity information matters
- Respond to threats faster
- Improve visibility across users and devices
- Reduce manual investigation
- Make more informed access decisions
- Strengthen Zero Trust initiatives
Why work with ConRes?
Technology is only part of the solution. ConRes helps organizations connect identity and security strategies so they work together more effectively — improving visibility, simplifying identity management and building a stronger foundation for Zero Trust.
Why ConRes and Cisco
Most organizations already have identity tools. What they often lack is a unified view of identity risk across the enterprise.
Cisco Identity Intelligence helps organizations aggregate identity intelligence from multiple identity providers, uncover hidden exposure, identify compromised accounts and strengthen identity governance without replacing existing investments. ConRes helps organizations deploy and operationalize these capabilities to improve visibility, accelerate investigations and reduce identity risk.
The result: a single risk-based view of identities across the enterprise, enabling stronger governance, faster threat detection and more informed security decisions.
