Fueled by rampant employee password reuse across work and personal logins, account takeover represents a major risk to the enterprise. According to the 2019 Verizon Breach Report, the use of stolen credentials has been the number one hacking tactic for three years running. When employees reuse the same credentials across multiple logins, one data breach puts all of those accounts at risk. It’s trivial for criminals to access all accounts that use those compromised credentials, leading them straight into corporate databases and more. SpyCloud goes beyond detecting compromised passwords; it prevents account takeover from ensuing through the earliest detection possible. SpyCloud Active Directory Guardian automates the identification and mitigation of risk by continually checking on-prem Active Directory and/or Azure AD user accounts against the largest database of stolen credentials in the world. When a match is found, SpyCloud Active Directory Guardian can be configured to automatically reset the password before criminals use or sell them on underground markets. The solution enables you to be proactive in protecting your Active Directory users who reuse passwords. SpyCloud Active Directory is a browser-based application that runs locally and easily installs in minutes. It can be custom-configured to scan automatically or on-demand. Key features - Automated risk detection: Eliminates the manual, labor-intensive process of detecting compromised accounts to help companies protect their assets with fewer costs and resources. - Early remediation: Gives teams the ability to remediate compromised accounts soon after the initial breach occurs – before criminals have the opportunity to cause harm. - Credential exposure alerts: Alerts security teams when an Active Directory user account is matched with breach data, enabling a swift password reset. - Proactive password exposure checks: Enables security teams to proactively check whether any AD user passwords have ever been exposed in a breach. - Built-in NIST compliance: Helps enforce NIST guidelines across the enterprise by automatically checking AD user passwords against millions of previously-exposed and commonly-used passwords. - API integration: Enables organizations to quickly integrate SpyCloud breach data into their workflows.
