[Download Datasheet](https://d6i9zfdwymowh.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/10-23_Data-Sheet_Technology-at-a-Glance_V4.pdf) ## What Makes Identifying Compromised Credentials Challenging While identifying unpatched machines and exploitable software is straightforward, when it comes to identifying compromised credentials, the process is anything but easy. ### No Walls In today’s work-from-home environment, employees can work anywhere and anytime. While this flexibility increases employee satisfaction, it makes it harder for security teams to know when an odd login is legitimate or an attacker. ### Understanding Normal In today’s work-from-home environment, employees can work anywhere and anytime. While this flexibility increases employee satisfaction, it makes it harder for security teams to know when an odd login is legitimate or an attacker. ### Unreliable Automation If security teams can identify the normal and thus the abnormal, they need to take consistent response actions fast. Unfortunately, without the right technology, responses will be manual and slower. ## How to Protect Against Compromised Credentials A multi-layer security approach gives your team the best chance to quickly detect and mitigate compromised credentials. ### Endpoint Protection You need to gather information from the user's endpoint to identify normal. Additionally, if you need to take response actions in response to suspicious activity, you must have a way to isolate an endpoint, which endpoint protection can give you. ### Network Protection 99% of all attacks will traverse your network at some point. Network protection products like NDRs are great ways to detect if a user moves an abnormal amount of data across the network. ### Identity Management & CASB A least-privilege approach to user provisioning can ensure that if a user’s credentials are compromised, the attacker will face some challenges attempting to navigate the network freely. Read More Additionally, Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) are essential to administer corporate identity policies across all your cloud environments. ### User & Entity Behavior Analytics While you gather data from endpoints and servers with your endpoint protection, the heavy lifting when identifying normal and abnormal behavior occurs in a User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) solution. Understanding normal is critical to identifying compromised credentials. Read More Without this layer of protection, security teams will always be recovering from an attack rather than stopping it from happening. ### Security Analytics While the impact of compromised credentials is evident once an attacker deploys the attack, there are opportunities to detect potential signs of compromised credentials when actively monitoring and correlating user and entity behaviors and flagging suspicious activities. ### Automated Response With the previous protection layers in place, you need a way to respond to a detected threat at scale quickly. An automated response product like SOAR can distinguish between a localized credential issue and a widespread breach.
