Attivo Networks, the leader in identity detection and response, announced a revolutionary new way of protecting credentials from theft and misuse. As part of its Endpoint Detection Net (EDN) Suite, the ThreatStrike functionality allows organizations to hide real credentials from attacker tools and bind them to their applications. Additionally, the solution can show decoy credentials that facilitate threat intelligence gathering when left as bait. With this new functionality, Attivo becomes the only solution of its kind to cloak real credentials from attackers. A credential-based attack occurs when an attacker steals credentials, extends privileges, and compromises critical data. Credential theft is the first stage of a lateral movement attack and stopping the attack early in the process can make a material impact on the success and damages incurred by an attacker. According to Verizon's 2021 Data Breach Investigation Report, credentials remain among the most sought-after data types by attackers (60%).
