Their primary target has admin privileges.
PIM, MFA and Conditional Access protect identities - not the endpoint. Structural separation is missing in 80% of companies. Download the whitepaper now.
The 4 Most Critical Gaps in Your Admin Architecture
Why identity security alone is not enough
Understanding why identity security does not replace structural isolation
Identify the 4 vulnerabilities that make your admin architecture susceptible to attacks
Understand how the Red Tenant model implements structural separation
THIS GUIDE WILL CHANGE THINGS FOR YOU
Based on architecture assessments in Microsoft 365 environments. Tailored for organizations with complex administrative infrastructure and regulatory requirements.
You know the four vulnerabilities that leave your administrative architecture open to attack, despite PIM and MFA.
You understand why a compromised admin laptop without structural isolation leads to a domain takeover.
You can specify to the board what the protection radius is in the event of an admin incident and how large it should be.
The most common problems faced by companies
Administrators perform privileged tasks from the same device used for email.
The actual number of privileged accounts regularly exceeds the number of documented accounts by a factor of 3 to 4.
User and admin accounts are not separated; a phishing attack compromises both at the same time.
There is no complete traceability of who performed administrative tasks, when, and on which device.
Emergency passwords are accessible internally, are not logged, and are not rotated on a regular basis.

HOW TO SYSTEMATICALLY CLOSE THESE SECURITY GAPS
Not new identity management tools, but structural isolation that maximizes the potential of your existing security architecture and provides the executive board with a verifiable blast radius.
Conduct a comprehensive inventory of all privileged accounts, including undocumented shadow accounts
Structurally separate administrative access from normal operations
Set up dedicated admin workstations or virtual admin workstations
Ensure that all administrative activities are fully logged
Implement a break-glass procedure using hardware tokens and controlled custody
Limit the blast radius: An endpoint must not result in a complete domain takeover
