Compromised credentials can be used for user impersonation, and can result in unauthorized access that can go undetected for longer than most other types of breaches. Akku helps you prevent impersonation-based breaches by enhancing security through the authentication process.
Is john.smith@yourbiz.com really who he claims to be? Too often, there simply isn’t a way to be sure. Impersonation-based breaches are usually the result of bad actors gaining access to user credentials. And whether credentials are compromised through phishing, credential stuffing, brute force attacks, or even social engineering, there is one common thread - passwords as the sole authentication factor.
Passwords aren’t the only culprits though - excessive user privileges and a lack of user behavior monitoring can compound the problem by expanding the scale of breaches resulting from user impersonation and failing to detect such breaches for extended periods of time.
With Akku, you can reinforce your authentication process, enforce least privilege access, and monitor user sessions in real-time to prevent and minimize the impact of impersonation-based breaches.
Prevent compromised credentials from becoming compromised user accounts by adding a layer of security beyond passwords with multi-factor authentication (MFA). Streamline the process further with AI-driven anomaly detection to intelligently step up authentication with adaptive MFA (AMFA).
Go a step further and eliminate passwords from the authentication process altogether with a low-friction passwordless authentication process.
Limit the impact of breaches by providing each user with only the minimum level of access they need to perform their role.
Detect and block impersonation-based breaches sooner with continuous monitoring of user sessions and periodic re-verification of identity.
