But attackers see employees as whole people with personal emails, reused passwords, personal devices storing corporate session cookies, and years of digital history. This piece introduces 'fuzed identity intelligence' — evidence-based identity resolution that links disparate identity fragments (corporate accounts, personal emails, breach data, infostealer artifacts, underground forum handles) to a single individual with confidence scoring. The concept helps security teams prioritize risk proportionally: an admin with reused credentials and an active stolen session cookie is far more dangerous than a low-privilege user with a unique password in the same breach. The same attribution approach can collapse criminal aliases into identifiable actors, countering schemes like North Korean IT worker fraud. The author argues identity security must evolve from authentication/authorization into a full intelligence discipline, while maintaining clear privacy boundaries — the goal is exposure reduction, not employee surveillance. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
