More than half of US companies hit with privileged credential theft and insider threats
hycoticCentrify , a leading
T provider of cloud identity security solutions , has announced new research that reveals more than half of organisations have been grappling with the theft of legitimate , privileged credentials ( 53 %) and insider threat attacks ( 52 %) in the last 12 months .
In 85 % of the privileged credential theft instances , cybercriminals were able to access critical systems and / or data . In addition , two-thirds ( 66 %) of insider threats led to abuse of administrative privileges to illegitimately access critical systems and / or data .
The research , commissioned by ThycoticCentrify with CensusWide , surveyed 150 IT decision-makers across the US on the most common privileged access risks and Zero Trust adoption trends . In addition to external and malicious insider threat attacks , the study found that nearly half ( 48 %) of organisations experienced a data breach as a result of giving an employee or contractor too much access in the last year .
“ IT administrators hold the keys to the most sensitive and mission-critical parts of the kingdom and both internal and external attackers are taking full advantage ,” said David McNeely , Chief Technology Officer at ThycoticCentrify . “ Abusing access to these systems can lead to full-scale breaches that grab headlines and impact trust in the organisation . While there is no single solution that can eliminate every one of these risk factors , adopting Zero Trust principles is an excellent start .” www . intelligentciso . com
