SpyCloud, the leader in Identity Threat Protection, is announcing that SpyCloud Investigations—the company’s cybercrime and identity threat investigation solution—now features IDLink, an automated digital identity correlation capability. This new feature enhances SpyCloud Investigations by streamlining and accelerating successful outcomes of complex investigations—from days or hours to as little as minutes, according to the vendor.
SpyCloud Investigations is a SaaS-based solution offering rapid analysis of identity exposures across the enterprise, VIPs and supply chains, pattern of life analysis, threat actor attribution, insider risk analysis, financial crimes research, and more. According to Jason Lancaster, senior vice president of investigations at SpyCloud, “SpyCloud Investigations is the ultimate force multiplier for security teams. SpyCloud’s team of investigators have decades of experience investigating cybercrimes day and night, across all manner of use cases, with public and private sector partners. We’ve spent the last year infusing this knowledge into our solution so analysts at all skill levels can reap the benefits.”
The addition of IDLink provides a more comprehensive view of identity risk, delivering expanded digital identity results from a simple search query. IDLink broadens the pool of results for threat investigation, now including identity data correlated across shared usernames, emails, passwords, and personally identifiable information (PII). IDLink also offers flexible options for pivoting depth, confidence levels, and visualization, affording analysts greater choice during investigation while reducing errors and the chance of missed data points, according to SpyCloud.
“There is a vast amount of personal information in criminals’ hands,” said Lancaster. “SpyCloud Investigations gets that same data into the right hands, faster, to protect businesses and their users. By illuminating connections, opening up new threads to investigate, and offering unlimited queries to SpyCloud’s enriched database of breached, phished, and malware-exfiltrated data, analysts can visualize threats and act decisively, enhancing organizational resilience against cybercrime and identity threats.”
IDLink’s advanced analytics offer the following benefits:
- Up-leveled analyst output by automating the process of identifying hidden identity exposures, enhancing the performance of analysts and investigators at all skill levels and increasing team productivity, discovery, and resolution
- Surfacing hidden connections by automatically correlating data to deliver a holistic view of digital identity in minutes
- Improved attribution with automated analytics that deliver linked exposed identity assets and records, reducing the chance of dead ends during investigation and providing crucial details about criminal actors and threats
