SpyCloud Pioneers the Shift to Holistic Identity Threat Protection

spycloud-company-news
SpyCloud’s Identity Threat Protection solutions spearhead a holistic identity approach to security, illuminating correlated hidden identity exposures and facilitating fast, automated remediation.

Austin, TX, USA, February 4th, 2025 (CyberNewsWire) – SpyCloud, a leading identity threat protection company, announced key innovations in its portfolio, pioneering the shift to holistic identity threat protection. By operationalizing its vast collection of darknet data with automated identity analytics that correlate malware, phishing, and breach exposures across individuals’ past and present work and personal personas, SpyCloud enables security and fraud prevention teams to comprehensively uncover hidden identity assets, rapidly remediate exposures, and better protect their businesses from previously unseen threats.

Identity security vendors have focused narrowly on securing corporate accounts, leaving organizations vulnerable to cybercriminals exploiting the broader identity exposures of employees, consumers, and suppliers. A shift to an identity-centric perspective is needed, particularly as the scope of identity exposures continues to grow. SpyCloud research reveals that the average individual has as many as 52 unique usernames/emails and 221 passwords exposed on the darknet across their online personal and professional identities.

The impact of these exposures is evident: nearly a quarter of data breaches resulted from compromised identity data. Credential attacks led to $4.81 million in related costs per breach and took the longest to identify and contain.

SpyCloud’s holistic identity threat protection addresses these challenges by encompassing the full spectrum of an individual’s online presence. This innovative approach empowers security teams to proactively protect against previously unseen risks, including the darknet exposures of identity and authentication data stolen about employees, consumers, and suppliers that have been beyond their visibility to date.

The cybersecurity industry has spent years and billions of dollars securing accounts, but criminals have moved far beyond account-level access. The dirty secret of the identity security industry is that efforts to lock down the perimeter fail because they focus on accounts, while bad actors target the full scope of users’ holistic identities. These sprawling identities, exposed through breaches, infostealer infections, and phishing attacks, create shadow data that traditional tools simply can’t address.
Ted Ross, CEO and Co-Founder, SpyCloud
Ross continued, “SpyCloud changes the dynamic by providing unmatched visibility into the same data criminals are exploiting, enabling organizations to remediate exposures across the entirety of users’ online personas. This shifts the advantage back to security leaders, empowering them to act on threats that were previously beyond their reach.”
