What does the User and Service Authentication Second Edition include?

The product includes a structured 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (calculators, roadmaps, dashboards) and 20-30 PDF guides (playbooks, runbooks, reference cards), plus a Platinum Tier set of six core files, a Getting-Started guide, self-assessment worksheets, requirement templates, model comparison matrices, implementation playbooks, performance dashboards, governance tools, sustainment frameworks, advanced case archives and quick-reference cards.

Are you still relying on fragmented, outdated authentication controls that leave your organisation vulnerable to data breaches, regulatory fines and costly audit failures? Without a unified, standards-aligned approach, every weak password, unmanaged service account and poorly governed session becomes a gateway for attackers, putting your contracts, reputation and bottom line at risk. The User and Service Authentication Second Edition eliminates that risk by giving you a ready-to-use, 60-plus file digital playbook that lets you assess, benchmark and harden both human and machine identities across hybrid and cloud environments in under two hours.
