SpyCloud, a leading identity threat protection company, is adding key innovations to its portfolio, accelerating the shift to holistic identity threat protection.
According to the company, by operationalizing its vast collection of darknet data with automated identity analytics that correlate malware, phishing, and breach exposures across individuals’ past and present work and personal personas, SpyCloud enables security and fraud prevention teams to comprehensively uncover hidden identity assets, rapidly remediate exposures, and better protect their businesses from previously unseen threats.
Identity security vendors have focused narrowly on securing corporate accounts, leaving organizations vulnerable to cybercriminals exploiting the broader identity exposures of employees, consumers, and suppliers. A shift to an identity-centric perspective is needed, particularly as the scope of identity exposures continues to grow, SpyCloud said.
SpyCloud’s holistic identity threat protection addresses these challenges by encompassing the full spectrum of an individual’s online presence. This innovative approach empowers security teams to proactively protect against previously unseen risks, including the darknet exposures of identity and authentication data stolen about employees, consumers, and suppliers that have been beyond their visibility to date.
"The cybersecurity industry has spent years and billions of dollars securing accounts, but criminals have moved far beyond account-level access," said Ted Ross, SpyCloud’s CEO and co-founder. "The dirty secret of the identity security industry is that efforts to lock down the perimeter fail because they focus on accounts, while bad actors target the full scope of users’ holistic identities. These sprawling identities, exposed through breaches, infostealer infections, and phishing attacks, create shadow data that traditional tools simply can’t address.”
New innovations underpinning SpyCloud’s Holistic Identity Threat Protection include:
- Refined analytics driving actionability on exposed identities: SpyCloud applies advanced data science and proprietary technology to dynamically correlate billions of recaptured darknet data points, providing a broader and more accurate view of identities.
- Automated remediation in <15 minutes: SpyCloud’s holistic identity portfolio now enables rapid, automated remediation within enterprise security ecosystems, including EDR, IdP, SOAR, and SIEM tools.
- Malware reverse engineering to combat ransomware: SpyCloud specializes in the tracking and analyzing of malware—with deep insights into pervasive infostealers such as Lumma C2, Redline Stealer, Vidar, and more—as they are often a precursor to ransomware. Through its advanced malware reverse analysis, SpyCloud provides comprehensive visibility into malware-exposed data, helping organizations identify compromised devices, users, and applications and closes critical security gaps, including those stemming from unmanaged or under-managed devices used by employees, contractors, and vendors.
- Accelerated cybercrime investigations: SpyCloud’s Investigations solution, used by cyber threat intelligence (CTI) teams, security operations, fraud and risk prevention analysts, and law enforcement globally, includes automated identity analytics to uncover the full scope of digital identity exposures, accelerating complex cybercrime investigations into threat actor attribution, insider risk (including potential hiring fraud), and supply chain risk analysis from days or hours to minutes.
"We are redefining identity security by making holistic protection practical and achievable for our customers," added Damon Fleury, SpyCloud’s chief product officer. "SpyCloud has a long history of leading the way in understanding the cybercrime ecosystem, from our early days in world-class ATO prevention to continuing to build solutions that empower organizations to proactively protect against threats stemming from infostealer malware, phished and breach data.”
