Security Intelligence
💡 Credential Stuffing at Scale
Credential stuffing uses stolen username-password pairs from data breaches to attempt logins across many websites. Since users frequently reuse passwords, these automated attacks achieve success rates of 0.1-2%, which translates to thousands of compromised accounts from millions of attempts.
💡 Insider Threat Indicators
Insider threats — whether malicious or negligent — account for a significant percentage of data breaches. Behavioral analytics detecting unusual access patterns, data downloads, and privilege escalation help identify insider risks before damage occurs.
