New Taegis™ IDR solution stops identity-based
attacks in real time
ATLANTA, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Secureworks®,
(NASDAQ: SCWX), a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced a
new industry benchmark of 90 seconds to discover identity related
risks and misconfigurations*, an issue that impacts 95% of
organizations. Launched today, Secureworks Taegis™ IDR, a new
Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution, proactively
closes security gaps by leveraging advanced AI and machine
learning, to automatically detect, prioritize and respond to
identity-based threats across an organization's environment and the
dark web.
Identity remains one of the top three access vectors for
ransomware and in the last three years, Secureworks Counter Threat
Unit™ (CTU™) has observed a 688% increase in stolen credentials
offered for sale on one of the dark web's largest marketplaces.
Analysis of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Microsoft Azure Active
Directory) environments by the Secureworks Incident Response team
has revealed that 95% are misconfigured, opening the door for cyber
criminals to escalate privileges and carry out identity-based
attacks. It's clear that the risk around identity is the unsolved
puzzle of cyber, creating opportunities for threat actors to
exploit and cause havoc.
"Taegis IDR has significantly improved visibility into our
identity risks. Having a centralized view within our XDR platform
enables us to feed the identity and misconfiguration risks Taegis
IDR has spotlighted into all our security programs, therefore
improving our overall organizational cyber posture and reducing
risk," said Richard Hay, Information
Security Director, First Community Bank.
"Identity is the fuel of the cybercriminal ecosystem and today
we're cutting off their supply," stated Kyle Falkenhagen, Chief Product Officer,
Secureworks. "Taegis IDR constantly monitors an organization's
environment and the dark web to automatically prevent, detect,
prioritize and respond to identity-based threats that bypass
traditional identity security controls. Unifying identity
protection with the latest threat intelligence, AI, and broad
visibility across endpoints, cloud and other applications, Taegis
IDR uncovers misconfigurations to improve identity security posture
with speed and precision."
Taegis IDR protects against 100% of MITRE ATT&CK Credential
Access techniques**, including kerberoasting, password spraying and
brute force attacks. Taegis IDR includes the following
capabilities:
- Reduces identity attack surfaces: Continuously scans
Microsoft Entra ID environments to identify misconfigurations and
security gaps.
- Decreases risk of leaked or stolen credentials: Monitors
and alerts when credentials have been exposed in data breaches or
on the dark web.
- Identifies risky user behaviors: Monitors for
abnormal activity associated with the use of stolen
credentials.
- Provides full visibility into identities: Within 90
seconds organizations have visibility of identities across systems,
allowing teams to work effectively to address exposures before they
can be exploited.
- Protects against identity-based threats: Detects
credential compromise, insider threats, kerberoasting, password
spraying, lateral movement, account takeover, brute force attacks
and more before they can impact the business.
- Accelerates response to identity threats: Leverages
automated playbooks to take immediate response actions including
disabling a user, forcing a password reset, locking an account and
revoking a session.
- Unifies ITDR and extended detection and response (XDR):
Delivers comprehensive prevention, detection and response in a
single cybersecurity platform.
