Identity Security
Protect your digital identity from evolving cyber threats as criminals leverage AI for more sophisticated attacks
Identity security, powered by the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform
Red Helix delivers comprehensive identity defence through the CrowdStrike Platform. Powered by this best of breed technology, we provide continuous visibility, threat detection, privileged access control, and active defence across human, machine, and service identities. This addresses the rising complexity of hybrid identity systems and the sharp increase in credential-driven attacks targeting UK organisations.
Identity is now the primary attack surface. Nowadays, 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials. As businesses and individuals expand their online presence, sensitive data such as login credentials, financial information, and personal identifiers have become prime targets for attackers. Adversaries have recognised this and are increasingly bypassing traditional endpoint and MFA controls.
Why Identity Security Now Ranks as a Critical Priority
- Credential-based compromise is now the leading cause of breaches.
- Active Directory remains the most targeted asset in UK organisations.
- Privileged accounts represent the most valuable foothold for ransomware and nation-state adversaries.
- Endpoint tools and MFA cannot prevent the misuse of legitimate credentials once an attacker is authenticated.
Organisations also face escalating regulatory expectations. NIS2, FCA requirements, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR all reinforce the need for robust identity governance, clear auditability, and demonstrable control over privileged access.
Effective identity security therefore requires unified visibility across endpoints, cloud identity providers, Active Directory, and SaaS applications, supported by continuous monitoring and automated response.
CrowdStrike Identity Protection
CrowdStrike Identity Protection provides core identity threat detection and real-time attack interruption. It correlates endpoint, network, and cloud signals for a comprehensive view of adversary behaviour.
Identity Protection offers:
- Real-time detection of compromised accounts through behavioural analytics.
- Protection for Active Directory, including detection of reconnaissance, exploitation attempts, and unauthorised privilege escalation.
- Risk-based conditional access and automated remediation actions (such as forced password resets or MFA challenges).
- Visibility across users, service accounts, machine identities, and legacy systems.
- Support for hybrid identity ecosystems including Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and on-premises Active Directory.
Identity Protection forms the foundation of CrowdStrike’s identity security capability. It is applicable to organisations of any size seeking to prevent identity intrusion and reduce the risk of breaches driven by compromised accounts.
CrowdStrike NG-Identity
NG-Identity extends CrowdStrike Identity Protection with Privileged Access Management (PAM) and managed security operations delivered through Red Helix. It is designed for organisations requiring end-to-end identity defence, particularly those struggling with internal resource constraints or managing broad, complex identity estates.
NG-Identity combines three pillars:
Key Capabilities
Real-time detection of compromised accounts, credential misuse, abnormal login behaviour, and lateral movement. Machine identities and service accounts are monitored with the same scrutiny as human users.
NG-Identity introduces tight control of privileged accounts, enforcing least privilege, granting temporary access only when necessary, and providing detailed auditing to meet UK regulatory requirements.
Both solutions detect and disrupt AD-focused attacks, including reconnaissance, Kerberoasting, pass-the-hash, Golden Ticket generation, and unauthorised privilege escalation.
NG-Identity extends visibility and alerting across SaaS platforms, identifying high-risk configuration changes, unusual admin activity, or privilege drifts across cloud applications.
Comprehensive audit trails and reporting aligned to UK regulatory frameworks including FCA, NIS2, Cyber Essentials Plus, and GDPR.
