Identity Threat Protection (ITP) helps organizations detect and respond to threats by monitoring identity activity, analyzing risk signals, and applying security controls. This guide covers what identity threat protection is, how it works, its key capabilities, and the best practices organizations can follow to protect identities.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud technologies and rolling out massive AI initiatives, with many moving from pilots into production. More systems now connect through APIs. That progress also expands your privileged attack surface. When you give users unchecked access to critical systems, even one compromised identity can bring everything down.

G2 has named ThreatSpike a Leader in Managed Security Services (MSSP) in their Fall 2026 report, ranking as the vendor for the sixth time running since Summer 2025.

This October, that journey reaches its most practical phase yet. Acronis Events Acronis Accelerate: Time to act Register now.

The concern about fine-tuning is that it quietly converts a deployer into a provider, pulling in conformity assessment, technical documentation and a quality management system nobody budgeted for. ‍ The concern is misdirected. Fine-tuning is among the least likely routes to reclassification, and the route almost nobody worries about requires no training compute at all. ‍

Within Netwrix Security Research, we were helping a customer with an Entra ID assessment and knew they'd already done AD tiering on-prem. We also knew they had domain controllers virtualized in Azure, but it was hard to tell which Windows Server was actually a DC. We figured out that Azure Run Command lets you run commands as SYSTEM, so we used that to do reconnaissance and identify the DCs.

MITRE ATT&CK's detection analytic for adversaries mining SharePoint describes bulk access to files and metadata in a short window by privileged or rarely used accounts. That is also a description of Microsoft 365 Copilot answering a question. The technique hasn't changed, but the baseline has, and the exposure now happens with no vulnerability, no compromised credential, and no malicious intent anywhere in the chain.

Recent cyberattacks against U.S. water and wastewater systems have put some familiar operational technology (OT) security problems back in the headlines. Federal agencies have warned about malicious actors targeting internet-facing programmable logic controllers (PLCs), changing device configurations, and disrupting operations at utilities across multiple states.
