Wie Anomalieerkennung schwache Passwörter sichtbar macht
Moderne IT-Umgebungen erzeugen täglich eine große Menge authentifizierungsrelevanter Daten. Diese Daten enthalten wertvolle Hinweise auf unsichere Passwörter und strukturelle Schwachstellen. Durch automatisierte Verhaltensanalysen lassen sich Muster erkennen, die auf Fehlkonfigurationen, riskante Benutzergewohnheiten oder aufkommende Angriffsversuche hindeuten. Die Auswertung von Login-Frequenzen, Gerätedaten und Zugriffszeiten erlaubt eine frühzeitige Identifikation anormaler Abläufe. Unternehmen erhalten so ein Werkzeug, das…
