Despite increasing budgets for cybersecurity and fraud prevention and the widespread use of threat intel platforms, security monitoring tools, EDR, phishing detection, and anti-fraud signals, 90% of organizations were affected by ransomware last year.
Crimes such as advertising fraud are spreading like wildfire, with perpetrators impersonating various authoritative figures from organizations, law enforcement officers, bank officials, to logistics company employees. They fabricate scenarios, such as falsely claiming to have illegally shipped packages from abroad and demanding payment to avoid legal action. Offering rewards or promotions to entice individuals into scams is also prevalent, like claiming recipients have won high-value prizes but need to pay a fee upfront or taxes to receive the reward. Identity theft remains a growing trend, and data breaches continue to hover near record highs - and that's just what we can track.
Many security and fraud professionals believe the scale of cybercrime is much more than what’s accounted for in our models today, and has the potential to destabilize markets and even society as a whole.
Reduce Risk - Reduce your data breach risk by monitoring and addressing compromised employee credentials, whether from third-party breaches or malware infections. Vigilant monitoring allows for early threat detection, while prompt remediation prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data, enhancing overall cybersecurity.
Prevent Targeted Attacks - To prevent targeted attacks, particularly ransomware, it's essential to eliminate compromised credentials as an entry point. This proactive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of attackers gaining unauthorized access to your systems and launching damaging ransomware attacks. By continuously monitoring and addressing compromised credentials, businesses can strengthen their defense against targeted threats, safeguarding their valuable data and operations.
Shorten Response Times - In today's digital landscape, shortening response times is crucial for maintaining robust cybersecurity measures. Automation, facilitated through Active Directory and other integrations, plays a pivotal role in this process. By leveraging automation tools, organizations can swiftly identify compromised accounts and take immediate action to mitigate potential threats. This not only helps keep corporate data safe but also minimizes the workload on IT teams.

SpyCloud Consumer Risk Protection enables security teams to safeguard consumers' digital identities by staying ahead of new account takeover (ATO) threats. Leveraging insights from the criminal underground, SpyCloud proactively protects consumers from targeted attacks and automated session hijacking. It offers actionable insights on breached credentials, stolen authentication data, and exposed personal identifiable information (PII), ensuring robust account security for your consumers. By integrating SpyCloud into your security workflows, you can enhance efficiency, strengthen account security, and mitigate risks, all while delivering a seamless and frictionless customer experience.
Protecting Digital Identities to Prevent Account Takeover, SpyCloud helps protect consumers' personal identifiable information (PII) and digital identities from account takeover and targeted attacks by providing deep insights into the risks posed by exposed data available in the criminal underground. With easy-to-integrate APIs, SpyCloud fortifies account security throughout the customer lifecycle. It prevents attacks by enforcing strong passwords, avoiding the reuse of previously compromised credentials, and addressing consumer risks during login. Additionally, SpyCloud can identify data that may be used for identity theft and detect malware-infected consumers to close new entry points to high-risk accounts that might otherwise go undetected.
Cybercriminals often hide malware in enticing links and downloads, making consumers easy targets. Modern, sophisticated malware can execute and delete itself before antivirus tools detect it. Criminals view session cookies as the most valuable stolen authentication data because they can be used for session hijacking, an advanced account takeover (ATO) method that surpasses traditional credentials. They can bypass all forms of authentication using stolen cookies in anti-detect browsers, mimicking a trusted consumer's device and rendering passwords or any form of MFA unnecessary. As long as the cookie remains valid, the consumer's account is wide open. SpyCloud identifies malware-infected consumers and monitors malware logs for stolen session cookies linked to your application, alerting your business to act swiftly to protect high-risk accounts. Additionally, SpyCloud provides guidance on how to reduce the value of stolen data to mitigate fraud.
Anticipate Account Takeover - Determine which users are at highest risk of account takeover due to exposed credentials, bad password hygiene, and other key risk indicators.
Detect Synthetic Identities - Detect anomalies within a user’s information indicating that the identity is fake, stolen, or constructed using sensitive data available on the underground.
Forecast Targeted Attacks - Rely on real-time third-party breach alerts to identify customers with newly exposed credentials that are of high value to criminals. This proactive approach allows organizations to swiftly assess and address potential security risks, safeguarding both their own assets and their customers' sensitive information.
Predict Fraud Tied to Malware - Identifying consumers whose data has been compromised by malware, including browser fingerprints used by criminals for impersonation, is essential for effective cybersecurity measures. By recognizing these affected individuals, organizations can swiftly take action to mitigate potential risks and protect both their customers and their own data assets.
