Unix Consulting read

This topic concerns access, identity or social engineering. It is often a transversal entry point: a low-level user incident may become critical if permissions, MFA, logs and recovery procedures are weak.

Watch points

  • Privileged accounts and delegations
  • MFA, SSO, alerting and secret rotation
  • Ability to detect abnormal account usage

Recommended action

Relevant for

CISOs, IAM teams, support, operations and sensitive business functions.
