USE CASE: ZERO TRUST

Continuous Zero Trust

SpyCloud constantly reevaluates and checks employee identity exposures, giving you definitive evidence when an identity is compromised by malware, phishing, and third-party breaches. Our enriched telemetry powers dynamic access decisions, so you can trust every user, every time.

Power Zero Trust with continuous identity verification

A mature Zero Trust strategy requires more than login checks – it demands continuous visibility into identity risk. With SpyCloud, accelerate your Zero Trust initiatives with policy decision points that continuously evaluate employee identities for compromise using real-time identity exposure insights. SpyCloud enhances Zero Trust maturity by delivering pre-auth and mid-session compromise intelligence other tools miss.

Mitigate identity risk
Detect compromised credentials, cookies, and identity artifacts before they’re used for lateral movement or privilege escalation
Streamline compliance
Support NIST, CISA, DORA, and NIS2 frameworks with telemetry that reinforces Zero Trust authentication requirements
Optimize security resources
Reduce analyst fatigue and response times with high-fidelity identity alerts and automated exposure remediation

How SpyCloud solves the modern Zero Trust challenge

As organizations shift to a continuous authentication model, identity exposure monitoring becomes a critical piece of the puzzle. Unfortunately, most organizations’ Zero Trust implementations don’t continuously input high-fidelity darknet telemetry into their policy engine. In those cases, you leave an open door for cybercriminals to sidestep MFA and SSO in session hijacking attacks. Zero Trust policies must adapt to evolving user identity footprints, especially as attackers exploit identity compromise between login events.

Zero Trust with SpyCloud FAQs

The Zero Trust approach uses a model that assumes breach and continuously validates user identities before granting or maintaining access.
SpyCloud detects stolen credentials, session cookies, and other identity artifacts, enabling real-time remediation within identity providers.
Because attackers exploit session hijacking and stolen tokens between login events – continuous monitoring catches what MFA misses.

Continuous Zero Trust with darknet telemetry helps satisfy your compliance requirements. Use actionable and relevant darknet telemetry as a critical component of your risk management frameworks. SpyCloud fits in with:

  • 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture​ – Telemetry to enhance identity governance​ and trust algorithm
  • NIST CSF 2.0​ – Darknet intelligence for threats and potential likelihoods
  • NIST 800-053​ – Continuous monitoring and threat awareness
  • NIST 800-063-3 – Digital Identity Guidelines
  • CIS Top Controls v8​ – Restrict unauthorized access and remediate malware-affected applications

SpyCloud’s enriched telemetry, including the severity and relevance of every exposure record, supports always-on authentication so you can modify access based on signs of identity compromise. 

  • Enhanced session visibility: Broaden security oversight beyond devices and applications, focusing on compromised user sessions to safeguard identities at their most vulnerable points
  • Prevent lateral movement: Block cybercriminals from exploiting trusted devices by remediating the hidden scope of malware infections, including compromised third-party cloud applications
  • Secure user sessions: Defend against criminals exploiting authenticated sessions, bypassing MFA and passkeys to take over employee accounts, and stop targeted attacks where criminals impersonate employees to escalate privileges and access sensitive information
  • Get daily identity checks: Automatically scan directory services to identify compromised or weak credentials among active employees, flagging or resetting risky accounts
Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Active Directory. Leverage SpyCloud’s SIEM/SOAR integrations to quickly adjust policies based on compromised credentials from third-party breaches, phishing campaigns, and malware infections.
