Holiday Identity Hardening Guide

Adversaries don’t take time off. Holiday downtime—characterized by reduced staffing and slower incident response—provides the perfect window for attackers to exploit privileged identities.

Holiday Hardening Checklist

  • Enforce MFA: Mandatory for all Domain, Global, and Break-Glass accounts.
  • Rotate Credentials: Target high-privilege service accounts and CI/CD tokens.
  • Audit “Break-Glass”: Validate emergency accounts and set up login alerts.
  • Apply JIT Access: Reduce standing privileges to zero where possible.
  • Isolate PAWs: Ensure Privileged Access Workstations are patched and restricted.
