Titan Identity by GoSecure detects attacks on enterprise identity systems 

GoSecure has released Titan Identity, a solution that combines technology with a managed service to provide a cost-effective, deployable solution that enables organizations to improve credential theft response times. 

Threat actors use a variety of techniques to exploit identity services such as Active Directory because they recognize that identity controls access to everything. Insufficient privilege access and lateral movement controls were found in 93% of Microsoft investigations conducted during ransomware recovery engagements, according to Microsoft’s 2022 Digital Defense Report. 

Jeff Schmidt, CTO at GoSecure commented, “Any company operating Windows and using domain identity has a common, high-risk attack surface. Unfortunately, early detection often fails because of excess noise, poor visibility, or uninformative alerts. 

Titan Identity is a specialized solution intended to complement, rather than compete with, a SIEM by focusing on attacks against domain identity, where specialized technology and insight can deliver superior results.” 

Detecting these attacks in the shortest possible timeframe is critical for reducing the likelihood of a successful breach. Yet, breaches caused by stolen or compromised credentials had the longest lifecycle — 243 days to identify the breach, and another 84 days to contain the breach (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2022). 

GoSecure Titan Identity is a purpose-built detection service designed to reduce the time it takes to detect and respond to attacks on enterprise identity systems such as Microsoft Active Directory. 

Key advantages consist of: 

  • Reduced detection and response times for the Incident Response team thanks to continuous, ongoing visibility into identity attacks across hosts, servers, VMs, containers, desktops, and laptops across the enterprise. 
  • Decreased false positives, avoided a second user interface, and delivered alerts with enhanced messages to increase productivity for analysts. 
  • Increased return on previous investments in SIEM/SOAR by utilizing SIEM infrastructure, enabling use of non-SIEM logs that exceed your indexing and storage budget, and supporting new SOAR playbooks with automated actions. 
  • Verifiable accuracy is made possible by continuous, automated testing and performance measurement. 
  • By avoiding network probes and sensors, deployment and change costs will be lower. 
  • Increasing the internal team’s capacity to detect identity attacks by giving them access to a team of data scientists.

Mitigating Risks of Remote Access: Best Practices for Businesses

Businesses are rapidly shifting to remote work in today’s landscape. This major shift has increased the need for secured remote access as it allows employees to access company resources from anywhere, anytime. Remote access can increase flexibility, collaboration, and productivity, but it also exposes businesses to a variety of security risks. As a result, securing remote access has become a critical component of businesses’ cybersecurity strategy. Businesses need to employ effective strategies to protect sensitive data and maintain network security. Businesses will keep falling victim to cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other forms of cybercrime if proper security measures are not in place, which can be detrimental to the company’s reputation.

Identifying and Managing Risks of Remote Access

Remote access can expose a company to a variety of security risks. Unauthorized access is one of the most serious risks. It can be difficult to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to company resources when employees access them from remote locations. Furthermore, because sensitive information can be transmitted over insecure networks, remote access can increase the risk of data breaches.

Another risk associated with remote access is the possibility of malware and other malicious software infecting company systems. Remote access can make it easier for hackers to gain access to a company’s network because employees may be using unsecured personal devices.

To mitigate these risks, businesses must implement a comprehensive approach to remote access security. This includes identifying and managing remote access risks, implementing best practices for remote access security, and remaining vigilant in the face of ever-changing security threats.

Best Practices for Securing Remote Access to Your Business Network

Implementing strict access controls is one of the most important steps in securing remote access. This includes requiring employees to use strong passwords and two-factor authentication when accessing company resources. Businesses should also use firewalls and other security measures to keep unauthorized people out of their networks.

Securing Remote Desktop Connections for Your Business

A virtual private network (VPN) can be used to encrypt data transmissions, which is another best practice for securing remote access. VPN makes it difficult for hackers to intercept sensitive data by establishing a secure, encrypted connection between an employee’s device and the company network.

Businesses should look for a VPN that offers strong encryption, a variety of protocols, and a no-logging policy when selecting a VPN for secure remote access. Businesses should also make sure that the VPN is simple to use and supports a variety of devices.

Managing Remote Access Security for a Mobile Workforce

Businesses need a plan for managing remote access security for a mobile workforce because more and more employees are working remotely. This entails putting in place security measures like mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) to guarantee that business data is secured on employees’ mobile devices.

Implementing Two-Factor Authentication for Remote Workers

An efficient method for securing remote access is two-factor authentication (2FA). Users are required to provide two forms of identification, such as a password and a fingerprint scan or a password and a one-time code received on their phone for authentication. Unauthorized individuals will find it much harder to access company resources as a result.

Conducting a Remote Access Security Audit for Your Business

Carrying out a remote access security audit for your company to find any potential weaknesses is required. It also gives an overall idea of whether your security measures are working or not. This mostly involves looking over the security of remote access protocols, assessing the security of connections to remote desktops, and scanning for vulnerabilities. Once you get a proper audit report, you can redesign your security strategy and mitigate any loopholes available.

Moving Ahead

To safeguard sensitive information and keep their networks protected, businesses must secure remote access. Businesses can guarantee the security of their remote access systems by identifying and managing risks, putting best practices into practice, and performing routine security audits. Businesses should prioritize securing remote access in order to stay ahead of security threats given the growing trend of remote work.

Virtual Private Networks – Insights

VPNs encrypt internet traffic and hide a user’s identity online. It establishes a protected network connection while using public networks. The encryption of data is done in real-time. VPNs mask internet protocol (IP) address. Third parties will have a harder time tracking and stealing data of VPN. Applications operating through a VPN get benefits of the private network’s functionality, security and control.

Business VPN

A business VPN is a service that requires customized setup and technical support. The VPN is configured by the company’s IT department. A user has no administrative control over the VPN and organizations log employees’ activities and data transfers. As a result, the organization can reduce the probability of data breaches. The fundamental benefit of a business VPN is that it provides a completely secure connection to the organization’s intranet and server, even for staff who work remotely and use their internet connection.

Increase Security with VPN

Private tunneling or remote network access may not be required by the company. However, an organization is likely to share some elements with larger companies. To begin, businesses most likely have cloud-based resources such as apps or data. A VPN gives businesses safe access without the hassle of maintaining and paying for pricey routing hardware. A virtual private network (VPN) establishes a secure connection between user’s systems and the resources to which they connect. Adding a VPN connection adds another degree of protection and security.

Scalability of the VPN

A private network can help a company get started, the cost of expanding it can be prohibitive. Businesses can provide resource access to multiple employees at the same time as per their need with minimum configuration and can extend VPN as their business grows in terms of number of employees or data storage space. They can also operate critical programs on the cloud and grant them access via the VPN’s secure tunnel.

Hide Sensitive Information with Encryption

Hackers can intercept sensitive information you enter on websites using a variety of methods. They can use that information to imitate and obtain access to bank accounts, financial transactions information and other personal information. High-level security, such as 256-bit AES encryption, is available with a VPN. Anyone who is able to eavesdrop firm’s internet traffic will see incomprehensible, jumbled text and characters.

Access in Restricted Internet Access Countries

Some businesses have staff who go to countries where internet access is restricted. In that situation, employees may be denied access to the organization’s resources that are available on the open web. Employees can access the Internet as if they were in their own country with the help of a VPN. 

Low Setup and Maintenance Costs

Small businesses have certain restrictions on the amount of money to spend on IT infrastructure. The information technology and its security is a crucial aspect for any organization, they must either spend money on it or risk losing their overall profitability. VPNs do not require any physical infrastructure or additional tools to operate. To put it another way, all an organization needs is a VPN subscription to use the service. Even if a business manages to run its own VPN server, the setup and maintenance are simple. Most VPN services don’t even charge to set up the VPN server because they handle everything for clients. Companies simply have to pay for the VPN subscription and then they are good to go.
