Cyber attackers use a variety of anonymity techniques to avoid detection. Many attacks come from anonymous proxies and anonymity networks are often use valid, but compromised, credentials.
Access control specialist SecureAuth is launching a new Threat Service product to stop suspicious logins even if attackers have valid credentials and even if they are logging in from an anonymous network.
SecureAuth Threat Service combines multiple information feeds to protect against today's multifaceted threat landscape including Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), as well as cyber crime and hacktivism. It uses accurate IP geo-location data to map all routable IP addresses worldwide.
It enhances a customer’s ability to identify compromised credentials before allowing access by determining whether an authentication request is coming from a known bad IP address or an anonymous network. It can therefore reduce response times by cutting through the noise and identifying compromised accounts for IT staff and incident response teams. Depending on the risk identified, SecureAuth can require multi-factor authentication to verify identity, can deny the request outright, or can simply pass the user on to their destination.
