Identity Threat Hunting
Identity threat hunting is the proactive process of searching for signs of potential identity-related security threats within an organization's digital environment. It involves monitoring, analyzing, and investigating activities to detect unauthorized access, compromised credentials, or other identity-related risks. The goal is to identify and mitigate potential breaches or attacks that target user identities and access privileges before they can cause significant damage.
ThreatNG, which combines External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, can identify exposed assets, sensitive information, and vulnerabilities on the external attack surface. It helps in pinpointing potential entry points for attackers targeting user identities.
Additionally, it can monitor for leaked credentials and personal information on the dark web, reducing the risk of identity-related breaches. Security ratings provide insights into an organization's overall security posture, assisting in identifying exploitable weak points to compromise identities. In summary, ThreatNG can aid in identifying vulnerabilities, exposed data, and potential entry points that threat hunters can use to mitigate identity-related risks.
