Identity-Centric Threats: The New Reality
The cyberthreat landscape has transformed significantly with identity-based attacks emerging as a dominant threat vector. The 2025 Identity Threat Research Report, "Identity-Centric Threats: The New Reality," presents findings from research conducted by the eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) on shifting tactics, how they bypass traditional cybersecurity controls, and implications on organizational security posture.

What are identity-centric threats?
Identity-centric threats focus on compromising user identities to gain access to valuable organizational assets, rather than exploiting technical vulnerabilities in systems. This shift has led to a significant increase in identity-based attacks, which have risen by 156% between 2023 and 2025, now accounting for 59% of all confirmed threat cases in Q1 2025.
How has Cybercrime-as-a-Service impacted security?
Cybercrime-as-a-Service platforms have transformed the threat landscape by lowering the barrier to entry for cybercriminals. These platforms provide specialized services, such as Phishing-as-a-Service, which allow even those with limited technical skills to execute sophisticated identity theft campaigns. For instance, platforms like Tycoon2FA can be rented for as little as $200-300 per month, making credential theft more frequent and diverse.
What measures can organizations take against identity threats?
Organizations should rethink their security posture by assuming that identities will be compromised. This includes implementing continuous authentication verification, comprehensive credential monitoring, and rapid response capabilities for identity-based threats. Regular threat hunting for unusual sign-ins and modifications to multi-factor authentication methods is also recommended to enhance security.
