Valid Credentials: The New Invisible Threat Vector


key

Advanced Threats Bypass Traditional Security Systems

Existing security measures often provide a false sense of security by failing to detect unauthorized activities by attackers who used legitimate credentials, therefore blending in with normal user activities.

Attackers Remain Invisible to Conventional Detection Methods

Traditional SOCs can overlook threats that use legitimate credentials. Since these attackers bypass the need for conspicuous actions such as lateral movement or ransomware, they remain stealthily active in the system and bypass the usual security alerts.

Undetected Attackers Can Cause Significant Damage

Data breaches are serious. Attackers with valid credentials can access sensitive data, install backdoors, and cause damage for weeks or months, without detection. It’s crucial to understand the risks and implement advanced strategies to identify and mitigate these silent threats.

Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)

ITDR is the critical capability that ensures unusual behaviors and threats are detected in real time and met with an immediate response – crucial when preventive measures are bypassed.

Detection

By examining known threat tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) and using user behavior analytics (UBA), deviations can be identified, and indicators of compromise (IoC) uncovered to quickly detect an ongoing attack.

Response

Once a threat is detected, actions from the identity threat playbook are taken to contain it immediately. This may include revoking sessions, denying account access or isolating compromised devices to minimize the potential impact.
