In our last post, Stopping Insider Risk in Its Tracks, we showed how Veza and CrowdStrike Falcon contain insider threats, pairing behavioral detection with access visibility. But insider misuse is only one slice of the identity risk surface.
Sometimes it’s a contractor with stale entitlements.
Sometimes it’s a service account with lateral movement risk.
Sometimes it’s an unmanaged device slipping into production.
These aren’t hypotheticals, they’re daily realities. And they prove why analysts are naming new categories such as Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and the Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platform (IVIP). Organizations need more than detection. They need continuous posture, full visibility across identities and devices, and risk-aware automation.
That’s exactly what Veza + CrowdStrike deliver.
Why Now: Identity is the #1 Attack Vector
CrowdStrike’s 2025 Threat Report shows compromised access is the leading way attackers gain a foothold. Verizon’s DBIR echoes it: 80% of breaches start with stolen or misused credentials.
Attackers don’t care whether it’s a contractor, a service account, or a CFO; they care what that identity can do.
Detection alone can’t answer that. Veza can.
From Alerts to Answers
When Falcon flags a risky login, credential theft, or lateral movement, Veza instantly maps what that identity can touch, across SaaS, cloud, and infrastructure. Instead of another alert, security teams get a decision point:
- What roles does this identity hold?
- What sensitive data can they reach?
- What systems can they change?
- What action should I take right now?
This pairing operationalizes the first pillar of ISPM: continuous, context-rich assessment of identity risk.
Unified Visibility → Smarter Decisions
Most tools give fragments of the picture: device posture, entitlements, or permissions in a single app. But access risk isn’t siloed – your visibility shouldn’t be either.
Veza + CrowdStrike deliver the full map:
- Flag unmanaged devices hitting production systems
- Tag users with sensitive entitlements and risky login behavior
- Detect toxic combos like dormant admin roles and public exposure
That’s IVIP in action: a unified intelligence layer that connects identity, entitlements, behavior, and device health.
Respond in Minutes, Not Days
Not every alert deserves escalation. The challenge is knowing which ones.
Falcon delivers rich behavioral analytics. Veza adds the missing context: what that identity could actually do. Together, teams can:
- Identify which systems are at real risk
- Revoke excessive entitlements immediately
- Launch targeted access reviews where needed
This moves response from days to minutes – the ISPM promise of risk-aware, automated enforcement.
Four Ways Teams Are Using This Today
- Identity Threat Containment – Restrict or escalate access the moment Falcon detects misuse – no tickets required.
- Blast Radius Mapping – Visualize exactly what a compromised identity can reach.
- Just-in-Time Reviews – Skip noisy reviews. Focus only on what matters, when it matters.
- Privilege Path Reduction – Detect and strip excessive access before attackers escalate.
Don’t Just Detect Risk. Kill It.
Identity risk doesn’t end with an alert; it hides in misconfigurations, dormant entitlements, and excessive privilege. With Veza + CrowdStrike, teams move past triage to risk-aware automation at scale, powered by the Access Graph and Veza Actions.
That’s ISPM in action, fueled by IVIP intelligence.
