Prevent Account Takeover

CREDENTIALS PROTECTION

It’s no longer surprising to wake up on any given day to news of yet another mega data breach that has compromised hundreds of millions of user accounts. Most data breaches are difficult to detect and occur despite having moderate to advanced authentication mechanisms in place. What further perplexes high assurance authentication is that Two Factor Authentication (or 2FA) is not always enough to fully protect a company’s most sensitive assets. Cyber-attacks target weak links, and continue to bypass traditional security tools such as log-only SIEM systems. To proactively detect threats before they can do damage, you need a solution that allows you to quickly identify when credentials have been compromised or reused, and to act on that insight in real time. Very few organizations can distinguish the genuine user from the sophisticated attacker. Even companies combining 2FA with contextual based authentication telemetry (device trust, IP reputation, geo-location, the protocol used to access an app, etc.) are doing so in response to an authentication attempt, and are not proactively identifying and mitigating compromised accounts. With such large-scale breaches becoming commonplace, it is more important than ever to work with the best threat intelligence sources proactively and decisively, particularly when compromised credentials are detected in your customer or employee directories.
