YOUR CHALLENGES

Elevate your identity defense to guard against expanding threats.

Identity remains one of the top access vectors for ransomware. In the past year, the Sophos X-Ops Counter Threat Unit (CTU) has observed the number of stolen credentials offered for sale on one of the dark web’s largest marketplaces has more than doubled.

Increasing attack surface

Identities are no longer confined to the traditional network perimeter. The shift to cloud and remote work has elevated the complexity of monitoring and securing the identity attack surface.

card-icon--02
Complex IAM tools

Identity and access management systems are difficult to manage, with numerous and constantly evolving settings, policies, and configurations that threat actors target to gain access and elevate privileges.

Prevalence of stolen credentials

Cybercriminals take advantage of compromised identities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems.
