Traditional EDR tools cannot fully stop ransomware or identity-based attacks that exploit stolen credentials and overprivileged accounts. CyberArk recommends an identity-first, defense-in-depth approach with endpoint identity security to shrink the attack surface and contain threats early. The solution combines privilege management, application control, adaptive MFA, and secure browsers to provide strong, preventative, and continuous identity assurance. Techniques like sandboxing unknown apps, enforcing least privilege, and continuous authentication prevent lateral movement and data theft. This layered strategy strengthens security posture, safeguards unmanaged devices, and mitigates unknown threats while enabling Zero Trust.
