ITDR vs ISPM: why you need both

Attackers log in instead of breaking in, so identity has become the main attack surface. Learn what ISPM and ITDR each do, how they differ, and why preventing risk before attacks and detecting threats after login work best together as one system.

NIS2 and DORA: where identity security fits

Both regulations expect control over who has access to critical systems and fast detection when something goes wrong. Learn what NIS2 and DORA require, how identity security supports monitoring and alignment, and how to turn access and behaviour data into audit evidence.

Autopilot vs copilot: why autonomy matters

A copilot waits for a prompt, while an autopilot acts on its own within set limits. Learn how the two AI models differ in identity security, why speed matters most when an attack unfolds, and where human oversight and control still belong.

After login: what identities actually do

Authentication proves who is logging in, not what they do next. Learn why attacks using valid accounts are so hard to spot, what monitoring inside critical applications adds, and how to detect misuse in real time, down to individual transactions and queries.

Anatomy of an identity-based attack

Identity-based attacks rarely look like attacks. Follow one from the first stolen credential to the critical application, see what each stage looks like in the logs, and learn where detection and response can break the chain early, before any data is touched.

Insider threats and privileged account misuse

Insiders and privileged accounts are trusted by design, which makes misuse hard to see. Learn the early warning signs, why access controls alone fall short, and how behavioural monitoring helps you tell normal administration from real abuse before serious damage is done.

Sharelock investigates identity alerts in 31 seconds. Autonomously

See the Autopilot in action, no slides, no pitch.
