Stolen or abused identities enable unauthorized access.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
Identity compromise occurs when an unauthorized party gains control of an account, identity, or its authenticators.
The term comes from information-security practice and describes a central consequence of stolen or misused credentials: attackers can impersonate legitimate users and obtain further access.
Think of a digital identity as a key ring. If one key is copied, an attacker can open the doors assigned to that identity; additional checks limit the damage.
An unauthorized party controls a digital identity.
Detecting and containing compromised access protects systems.
MFA, unusual-login detection, and rapid suspension reduce risk.
The concept helps teams detect account takeover early and limit its impact on applications and data.
