Consider logging in to your work environment. You do this via your own workstation, laptop, and perhaps a home office; all with your own work credentials. Does your work environment notice when you log in with a new or old laptop? Or when someone logs in from abroad? What does your work environment’s security do when that happens?
Advanced Threat Analytics analyzes usage on a per-account basis. It tracks common login times, for example, and the devices used. When an outlier occurs, such as a login while on vacation, alarm bells go off in your work environment. What happens next can be configured. For example, a code can be sent to your phone that must be entered to log in again. A dashboard displays outlier activity.
Some figures:
- On average, attackers remain in your network for more than 140 days before being discovered.
- Cybercrime costs the global economy approximately $500 billion.
- Over 60% of all network breaches can be traced back to login credentials.
- On average, a data breach costs a company $3.5 million.
