Securing the Heart of the Enterprise: Identity

In today’s connected enterprise, identity is the new perimeter. Every login, credential, and directory query defines who can access what — and when identity systems are compromised, attackers can move freely across networks without triggering traditional
security alarms. Identity and Access Management (IAM) platforms such as LDAP directories, Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Active Directory, and cloud-based SSO services sit at the very core of this trust model. They authenticate every user and device. But they are also a high-value target — and one of the most common blind spots in cybersecurity programs.

The Insider Threat Challenge

Most organizations focus their defenses on external threats — firewalls, endpoint agents, or intrusion detection systems. Yet research consistently shows that 20–30 percent of breaches originate from within: employees, contractors, or compromised accounts abusing legitimate credentials. Insider attacks rarely generate obvious network anomalies. They use valid credentials. They query directories normally. They log in through approved VPNs. By the time a rule-based system flags the behavior, the damage — exfiltrated data, privilege escalation, or account manipulation — has already occurred. Traditional IAM tools weren’t designed to detect this. They verify identities; they don’t monitor them. Security teams need a new layer of intelligence that understands how directory services behave — not just who uses them.

Introducing Trustcore BA

Trustcore BA (Behavioral Analytics) is an advanced, machine-learning-driven platform purpose-built to protect IAM and LDAP environments from insider threats. It observes how your identity systems behave at the operating-system and directory-service level, learns what normal looks like, and alerts on deviations that indicate misuse, compromise, or attack. Unlike log-only or rule-based tools, Trustcore BA builds a live behavioral baseline of your IAM infrastructure, correlating LDAP logs, OS telemetry, and contextual identity intelligence.

Why LDAP Visibility Matters

LDAP directories hold the keys to your kingdom — user accounts, group memberships, and authentication policies. Attackers who compromise an IAM directory can escalate privileges, exfiltrate data, or disable audit trails. Trustcore BA transforms raw LDAP logs into structured JSON telemetry that feeds its inference engine, identifying spikes in failed binds, abnormal queries, or off-hour process access.

Why Now

Cloud migration and remote work have multiplied identities and entry points. Attackers target IAM because once identity is breached, everything else follows. Trustcore BA gives organizations visibility and intelligence to close this gap.

Protect the Directory. Protect the Business.

The next generation of cyber defense starts at the identity layer. With Trustcore BA, organizations gain a behavioral understanding of IAM and LDAP systems — spotting misuse before it becomes a breach.
