B2B Cybersecurity Data Sheet

Kivu Consulting

CHALLENGE

An identity system, like Active Directory, is designed to provide secure network access. But it could be the most vulnerable part of your cybersecurity.

If a threat actor gets log-in credentials for your network, they have the keys to your kingdom. Free access to explore without suspicion. To steal data. To plan an attack with the benefit of time and insight into your system.

It’s a common tactic among cyber criminals and a huge risk to your cybersecurity.

HOW IT HAPPENS

Active Directory is only as secure as the credentials. And cyber bad guys continuously devise ways to get them using:

• data breaches

• phishing emails or other social engineering attacks

• malicious keylogging software

• password hacking

You need more than multi-factor authentication and employee-created passwords to safeguard against today’s sophisticated breaches. You need active monitoring of your identity system.

SOLUTION

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) monitors for malware and malicious behavior in workstations. But if you have employees and contractors accessing your system remotely through Active Directory, that’s not monitored by your EDR.

Kivu’s Identity Theft Protection goes where EDR doesn’t to secure your workforce environment and stop identity-driven attacks. We make sure the right people have the right access to the right resources.

Get the highest level of automated detection backed by active monitoring from Kivu’s cyber analysts to understand what’s going on in your network, detect suspicious activity, and stop attacks.

Real-time Detection

Our advanced identity protection software works in Active Directory to monitor the online behavior of your workforce. Users get a seamless experience, and you get real-time detection of unusual activity that could indicate compromised credentials.

The system creates a profile for every user. It looks at how individuals move in the system, areas accessed, password strength and updates, and 100+ behavior and risk analytics.

By understanding how users behave in your system, we can identify out-of-the-norm movements and detect risks fast. And you’ll have a record of where the user went and what files they accessed to strengthen your response.

Expert Oversight

Kivu’s Identity Theft protection is more than advanced technology. It’s real people. Experts with insight from Kivu’s 14+ years threat intelligence and thousands of incident investigations.

Kivu’s team is deeply familiar with the indicators of a breach. We actively monitor movements in your system to identify behaviors that could be a prelude to attack: lateral movement, unusual log-in activity, and attempts to elevate privileges to higher levels of access.

We immediately alert you to suspicious behavior and your team decides if it’s appropriate movement. If it’s not, you have the fastest possible response in shutting down access to stop an attack, minimize damage, and prevent further abuse.
