Why this matters now: According to the Microsoft Digital Defense Report, 600+ million identity attacks were recorded per day in 2024, with a 32% spike in 2025.
AI didn’t just speed up ransomware - it supercharged who attackers go after first.
Bad actors are using AI to dramatically increase the volume, variety, and velocity of attacks, and identity has become their fastest path to disruption. Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID are now prime targets — because if attackers control identity, they control the business.
The good news? Disaster recovery is also changing how we fight back.
Smarter detection, adaptive identity controls, and automated responses are helping teams spot trouble earlier. But prevention alone can’t keep pace anymore. That’s why disaster recovery has become just as critical as protection. If you can’t restore identity quickly, you can’t restore the business.
