Identity is the latest attack point for cybercriminals, who are now targeting SaaS applications that are particularly vulnerable to this attack vector.
SaaS applications use a wide range of identities, both human and non-human, such as service accounts, API keys, and OAuth authorizations. Therefore, any identity within a SaaS application may provide cybercriminals with an opportunity for compromise, resulting in data exfiltration, compliance violations, and financial losses.
To better protect human identities, many protection measures have been developed, including multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO). These measures protect businesses from attacks that use stolen credentials, such as password spraying.
Protecting non-human identities is more challenging because MFA and SSO generally don’t work on accounts that aren’t tied to any individual employee. Non-human accounts are also more sensitive because they have the high permissions needed to consolidate activity. Cybersecurity for non-human entities requires different strategies, including monitoring tools to detect anomalous behavior that indicates different types of suspicious activity.
Despite the risks, the activities of non-human accounts are often ignored. For non-human identities, advanced methods such as automated security checks must be deployed to detect anomalous activity. Tools like ITDR provide a layer of defense that helps strengthen the identity fabric and protect the enterprise from attacks.
