Service accounts, which are non-human identities in Active Directory, have become prime targets in ransomware attacks, crucial for lateral movement in over 70% of incidents.
The alarming gap between the exposure of service accounts to compromise and the security measures available highlights the urgent need for improved identity protections.
Ransomware actors exploit service accounts to achieve lateral movement through compromised AD accounts, facilitating broad network access to deploy ransomware effectively.
Unified identity security is a promising approach to mitigate the risks associated with service accounts, providing a more robust framework for protecting these critical assets.
