Is john.smith@yourbiz.com really who he claims to be? Too often, there simply isn’t a way to be sure. Impersonation-based breaches are usually the result of
bad actors gaining access to user credentials. And whether credentials are compromised through phishing, credential stuffing, brute force attacks, or even
social engineering, there is one common thread - passwords as the sole authentication factor.
Passwords aren’t the only culprits though - excessive user privileges and a lack of user behavior monitoring can compound the problem by expanding the scale
of breaches resulting from user impersonation and failing to detect such breaches for extended periods of time.
Prevent compromised credentials from becoming compromised user accounts by adding a layer of security beyond passwords with multi-factor authentication (MFA). Streamline the process further with AI-driven anomaly detection to intelligently step up authentication with adaptive MFA (AMFA).
Go a step further and eliminate passwords from the authentication process altogether with a low-friction passwordless authentication process.
Limit the impact of breaches by providing each user with only the minimum level of access they need to perform their role
Detect and block impersonation-based breaches sooner with continuous monitoring of user sessions and periodic re-verification of identity.
