Research Examines Use of Credential Theft
Foresight in Detecting and Preventing Predictable Cyber Security
Risk
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the global leader
in privileged access security, today released new research
from CyberArk Labs introducing credential theft foresight as an
effective approach to identifying network weak spots likely to
expose privileged credentials to compromise.
The report, “Predicting Risk: Credential Theft Foresight,”
examines how privilege escalation can be detected and neutralized,
and how future risk can be prevented. This approach enables
organizations to minimize the attack surface and improve their
overall security posture.
The research identifies “HotSpots” and “ColdSpots” as indicators
of weak areas on a network that are likely to be attacked.
Organizations have an average 5.5 HotSpots, which are areas
predictably vulnerable to attack that act as bottlenecks for dozens
of potential attack vectors, on their networks at any given time.
They also have an average 37 ColdSpots, which are machines hosting
privileged accounts that could be targeted by attackers in an
attempt to escalate privileges.
The research details:
- Credential theft foresight as a
significant defensive advantage over traditional security tools
like vulnerability scanners and intrusion detection systems
- The multi-step process for identifying
and mitigating HotSpots and ColdSpots
- Two use cases in applying credential
theft risk mitigation techniques
To easily identify HotSpots in real time as they are created,
CyberArk Labs also released a new tool – PreCog – that’s available
now on GitHub: https://github.com/cyberark/PreCog.
CyberArk Labs researchers will be available at RSA Conference to
discuss the research. They’ll also unveil new research in the RSA
Conference session, “Sneak Your Way to Cloud Persistence – Shadow
Admins Are Here to Stay,” on Thursday, April 19, at 9:15 a.m. PDT.
To learn more, members of the CyberArk Labs team will be available
at booth #4201.
