57% lack strong capabilities to invalidate exposed sessionsNearly two-thirds lack repeatable remediation workflowsAbout two-thirds do not have formal investigation protocolsLess than 20% can automate identity remediation across systemsOnly 19% of organizations have automated identity remediation processes in place. The rest rely on case-by-case investigation or incomplete playbooks that leave gaps attackers can exploit.”The defense mission has changed,” said Trevor Hilligoss, SpyCloud’s Head of Security Research. “Attackers are opportunistic, chaining together stolen identity data to find any available access point. Yet traditional defenses remain narrowly focused on behavior and endpoints missing the identity exposures that enable persistent, undetected access. The data shows organizations must extend protection to the identity layer, and keep a continuous eye on exposures and remediation to shut down threats before follow-on attacks can occur.”Closing Identity Gaps Before Insider Threats EscalateThe report underscores the need for a holistic approach to identity protection. This means continuously correlating exposures across users’ full digital footprint including past and present, personal and corporate identities and automating remediation of compromised credentials, cookies, PII, and access tokens. In doing so, organizations move beyond account-level protection and gain visibility into identity risks threat actors were previously exploiting.SpyCloud’s holistic identity intelligence empowers organizations to prevent identity-based threats by:
Detecting fraudulent job candidates before access is grantedIdentifying compromised employees and users across devices and environmentsInvalidating exposed sessions and credentials at scaleAccelerating investigations through automated correlation of darknet exposure data”Teams that excel in identity security know exactly where exposures exist, can address them at scale, operate with clearly defined responsibilities, and continually adapt rather than simply react,” added Fleury. “The future belongs to those who treat identity as mission-critical building systems that detect compromise early, respond decisively, and beat threat actors from launching further attacks while keeping a strong and secure workforce.”Users can click here to access the full report or contact SpyCloud to learn more.
