Stolen credentials have become the most popular entry point for breaches, and a recent survey revealed that breaches initiated with stolen or compromised credentials took the longest to identify and contain*.

Elements Identity Security allows you to detect identity-based attacks by highlighting potentially compromised user credentials. Credentials are collected through either phishing email campaigns or by baiting administrators to accept non-standard authentication flows into their organization. Elements Identity Security extends your detection capabilities beyond endpoints to cover identities - known as the new target for cyber security attacks.

Once you detect an attack, how do you understand it and what should you do next? All activity detected from a potentially compromised user is aggregated together into a Broad Context Detection™, so that the investigation can easily pivot from one central place within the WithSecure Elements Cloud platform.

Our WithSecure incident response team is seeing an increasing trend in identity-focused attacks. These days, you need to do more than basic security hygiene to protect your IT environments, which often sprawl beyond on-premises. Traditional endpoint detection and response tools cannot provide visibility into identities in the era of remote work and cloud services that can be accessed from anywhere.

“An alarming 90% of organizations reported identity-related incidents.”

“Last year, exploiting identity caused a 71% spike in cyber attacks. Breaches that were initiated with stolen or compromised credentials took the longest to resolve – nearly 11 months.”
