Top 5 Identity Threats You Can’t Afford to Ignore

In today’s digital-first environment, securing sensitive information has become paramount for businesses of all sizes. At Imagineering, we understand the evolving landscape of cyber threats and offer solutions like Huntress  to safeguard your digital assets. Here, we outline the top five identity threats that demand your attention and how our services can protect your business.

1. Credential Theft

Credential theft tops the list as one of the most common and dangerous threats. It occurs when cybercriminals obtain usernames and passwords to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. This can lead to financial loss, data breaches, and significant operational disruption. Our Huntress service counters this threat by providing robust monitoring tools that detect and alert any unusual access patterns or unauthorized login attempts.

2. Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) Attacks

Adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) attacks are a sophisticated form of eavesdropping where hackers intercept and relay the communication between two parties without their knowledge. These attacks can manipulate exchanges and extract sensitive data, including login credentials and personal information. Huntress helps mitigate these risks through encrypted communications and continuous monitoring of data transfers.

3. Shadow Workflows

Shadow workflows refer to any unsanctioned use of digital tools and technologies by employees within an organization. These can bypass standard security measures, leading to vulnerabilities where hackers can exploit. Huntress addresses this by ensuring all devices and applications adhere to corporate security policies and providing visibility into all organizational data flows.

4. Rogue Applications

Rogue applications are unauthorized software that can introduce malware or leak data. They often appear legitimate but perform malicious operations without the user’s knowledge. Our Huntress solution includes application control policies that prevent the installation of unauthorized software and continuously scans for applications that might pose a risk.

5. Session Hijacking

Session hijacking is an attack where a cybercriminal takes over a user session while the session is still in progress. Attackers can steal or manipulate the session token to gain unauthorized access to the user’s data. Huntress secures sessions with advanced authentication mechanisms and session management practices to protect against these attacks.
