The response I got back, almost universally, was some version of the same question: &quot;I agree with all of this, but where do I even start?&quot;</p> <p>Fair question. Identity resilience as a discipline is large. It spans hardening, detection, recovery, and validation across both on-premises AD and Entra ID, and the tooling landscape is crowded. Standing up a full identity threat detection and recovery platform is a real project. It deserves the time and the budget. But while you are working through that, you can get a credible read on your current exposure right now, for free, in an afternoon.</p>
