KELA Launches Identity Guard to Boost Cybersecurity Efforts
Automating Real-Time Defense Against Compromised Accounts
KELA, recognized as a leader in cyber threat and exposure intelligence, has just introduced Identity Guard. This innovative tool aims to address a major cause of data breaches—compromised corporate identities. Identity Guard serves as a primary defense mechanism within KELA's well-established threat intelligence platform, which is already leveraged by various organizations, including businesses and government agencies.
As cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics to circumvent sophisticated security measures like firewalls and endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, they increasingly rely on valid corporate credentials. Tools such as VPNs and Active Directory often become gateways for unauthorized access, complicating the role of security teams trying to detect breaches. These compromised accounts usually arise from malware infections and advanced phishing schemes, making the credentials highly sought after in the darker corners of the cybercrime landscape.
Identity Guard combines advanced AI-driven analytics with carefully validated human intelligence to identify and counter stolen accounts as they circulate in the cyber underworld. This systematic approach not only automates the quarantine or suspension of compromised accounts but also ensures immediate protection from potential misuse.
David Carmiel, CEO and co-founder of KELA, commented, "With a notable increase in malware designed to steal credentials, protecting one's identity is crucial in any comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Identity Guard provides clients with unique insights sourced from the cybercriminal community, streamlining essential defense actions like account resets and asset quarantines. This instant protection helps ensure that stolen credentials cannot be used for further attacks.”
