Recent research reveals that hackers increasingly steal user credentials as the means of penetrating an organization’s cybersecurity perimeter to commit fraud, pilfer data or implant malware like ransomware.
Why? Because for cybercrooks, impersonating legitimate users has become the fastest path from gaining access to perpetrating cybercrime.
As malefactors apply more technology like agentic artificial intelligence (AI) – tools capable of independently planning, automating and executing complex multistep campaigns like phishing – the average time for attackers to run from breaching to controlling a system has dropped below 30 minutes.
Analysts predict these persistent, accelerating breaches will cost businesses of all types and sizes around the world more than $10 trillion this year. That figure includes estimates of tangible expenses like cyber insurance premiums and lost revenue from operational downtime plus intangible damage to a company’s reputation.
That’s why as a premier managed services provider (MSP) we built 24/7 endpoint and identity monitoring into our core co-managed IT Services offering. Here are details: - Endpoint Monitoring – Our Security Operations Center (SOC) watches network endpoints (e.g., desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc.) for suspicious activity. A confirmed threat launches a chain of response actions that may include isolating the suspected device and escalating the issue to your team for rapid remediation.
- Identity Monitoring – Our SOC team examines sign-ins and other authentication processes across applications and cloud services to detect unusual behaviors and patterns that signal account misuse. Countermeasures may include isolating an identity, forcing sign-out or freezing an account for further investigation.
The primary benefit to your business? Early detection and rapid response that limits spread and minimizes downtime. Want to learn more? Visit teamlogicit.com.
