Defending Against Active Directory and Credential-based Attacks
MFA and PAM are effective technologies for defending against credential-based endpoint attacks, particularly when used jointly, but have protection gaps related to Active Directory attacks, misused credentials, and entitlements for privileged access.
Granting the right user secure access to a system, resource, application, or network goes beyond confirming the user’s identity based on their authorization and authentication. It must also include accurately making sure that the tools they use should have access. Without additional layers of protection, threat actors can masquerade as legitimate users and gain unwarranted access.
Solutions are available for organizations to strengthen defenses against credential-based attacks, exploitation of excess entitlements, and unauthorized privilege escalation. Download this whitepaper to learn more about the ways in which attackers are leveraging these gaps in coverage and what your organization can do to achieve comprehensive protection.
