Online shopping TEL AVIV, Israel & BOSTON, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Silverfort, the Unified Identity Protection Company, unveiled its Identity Underground report, highlighting the frequency of identity security gaps that lead to successful attacks on organizations across every industry and region. Fueled by Silverfort's proprietary data, the report is the first of its kind, focusing on identity as an attack vector and offering insights into the Identity Threat Exposures (ITEs) that pave the way for cyberattacks. The data, analysis, and insights help identity and security teams benchmark their security programs, empowering them to make informed decisions on where to invest in identity security.
Key Points:
- The standout – and alarming – finding is that two out of every three businesses (67%) routinely synchronize most of their users' passwords from their on-premises directories to their cloud counterparts.
- The Alphv BlackCat ransomware group is known to use Active Directory as a stepping stone to compromise cloud identity providers.
- Over the past decade, there has been a rush to migrate to the cloud – and for a good reason.
- "But we need to know how common each identity security gap is so we can start methodically fixing them.
