Most organizations rely on directory services such as Active Directory to authorize account access verifying a username and password combination. The problem is that attackers can steal and misuse these credentials for malicious purposes without being caught. If attackers steal credentials that have higher privileges to the network’s resources, they can use these to escalate their attack and cause more material damage.

To protect against credential-based attacks, organizations have implemented solutions such as Multifactor Authentication (MFA) or Privileged Access Management (PAM), that seek to curtail unauthorized access. However, attackers are still able to bypass these security methods. Find solutions in this whitepaper.
