Identities are the latest weak point for cybercriminals, who are now heavily targeting SaaS applications that are particularly vulnerable to this attack vector.
The use of SaaS applications involves a wide range of identities, including human and non-human ones, such as service accounts, API keys, and OAuth permissions. As a result, any identity in a SaaS app can create an opening for cybercriminals to compromise, leading to data breaches, compliance violations, and financial losses.
Numerous safeguards have been developed to better protect human identities, including multi-factor identification and single sign-on (SSO). These measures can protect companies from attacks that use stolen credentials, such as password sprays.
Protecting non-human identities is more challenging, as MFA and SSO are usually not feasible with accounts that are not associated with any individual employee. Non-human accounts are also more sensitive because they have the elevated privileges needed for integration activities. Cybersecurity for non-human entities requires different tactics, including monitoring tools to detect anomalous behavior indicative of different types of suspicious activity.
Despite the risks, non-human account activity is often overlooked. For non-human identities, advanced methods such as automated security checks need to be implemented to detect unusual activity. Tools like ITDR provide a defensive layer to help strengthen the identity fabric to protect companies from attacks.
Join us for an informative webinar with Maor Bin, CEO and co-founder of Adaptive Shield, where he will delve into identity risks in SaaS applications and explain how to defend your SaaS environment through a robust identity security strategy.
Topics that will be covered during the webinar:
- The new attack surface: Learn how identities, including human users, service accounts, and API keys, are exploited by cybercriminals.
- Identity-centric threats: Understand the specific risks posed by compromised identities within your SaaS environment.
- Identity Management: Learn how to detect identity threats using SSPM and ITDR
