Phishing and malware are scary enough, but the number one tactic used by bad actors to get access to and take over accounts is something different: using compromised credentials. Why? Because it’s so easy! Data breaches happen almost constantly, and credentials get leaked. At the same time, people are prone to reuse the same few passwords across all their accounts. These two facts spell trouble, as it’s almost impossible for an IT professional to know if working credentials to their company email or CRM are floating around the dark web. Almost impossible that is, until now. SolarWinds TechPod™ episode host Brandon Shopp, VP of product strategy, security, compliance, and tools discusses the threat landscape and what can we do about it, with Chris LaConte, chief strategy officer at SpyCloud.
