Illuminating Identity Risk Blindspots: Eliminating the Top Vectors for Attacks

Identity is now the number one attack vector – vulnerable identities are present in every organization. Identity risks are like a residue that remains after the course of normal IT operations. Vulnerable identities persist because of gaps between IT and security teams, and because of gaps within existing identity solutions, such as Privileged Access Management (PAM). Unmanaged and misconfigured identities, such as service accounts and Shadow Admins, make it trivial for attackers to find and then exploit exposed identities. Identity Risk Management proactively identifies and removes these vulnerable credentials and connections, preventing attackers from gaining privileged access. Research from Illusive shows: -1 in 6 enterprise endpoints has exploitable identity risks -87% of local admins are not enrolled in a privileged account management (PAM) solution -Every organization lacks visibility into vulnerable “shadow admins” -More than 1 in 10 endpoints has cached credentials from privileged accounts—the digital equivalent of leaving your password on a sticky note
