SpyCloud
SpyCloud is the trusted ATO prevention partner for B2B organizations and consumer brands, including 4 of the Fortune 10, and power fraud investigations for law enforcement agencies around the globe. Their solutions are backed by the most comprehensive and actionable repository of recovered stolen credentials and PII, with over 100B assets and counting, including more than 21B passwords.
Unique Intelligence Collection Method: The HUMINT Difference
The vast majority of SpyCloud’s data comes from Human Intelligence – from the techniques and tactics we use to social engineer breach data directly from threat actors. By infiltrating underground communities where criminals operate, we find data that is inaccessible to scanners and web crawlers (also known as OSINT) and gain access to stolen information before it can be sold, traded, or posted to public forums.
Early Data Recovery
SpyCloud is able to access breached records within hours or days of the breach occurring and share it with customers before it is used to cause harm, typically months or even years before it becomes available anywhere else. In fact, we are often the first to inform the affected victim organizations through our responsible disclosure process. The speed with which we recover stolen information and make it actionable thwarts criminals’ ability to profit from it.
Data Cleansing & Password Cracking
We validate, analyze and remove the noise from the data we collect, and go a step further by providing the full context of each record – an extra layer of information that helps customers understand the severity of their exposures. It contains the source, breach description and the actual breached password in plaintext. Other vendors will claim to deliver plaintext passwords, but only SpyCloud has invested in mass password cracking for years and has accumulated billions plaintext passwords in our database. Plaintext passwords enable customers to quickly identify exposed account matches and take action — preventing exposures from becoming account breaches.
Automated Remediation
SpyCloud does the heavy lifting for busy security teams. Through our integration with Active Directory, customers can reset passwords automatically as exposures are found in scheduled AD scans. Whether an exact or fuzzy match is found, or users have selected commonly-used or previously-exposed passwords, remediation is easy and swift.
Ease of Use
SpyCloud gives our customers multiple options to interact with our data: through our secure, easy-to-use portal, powerful APIs, and integration with Active Directory.
