Data Breach Monitoring: Protect Your Business from Compromised Accounts
Secure Your Organization Against Leaked Credentials
In today’s digital world, data breaches are a major threat to businesses of all sizes. Over 550 million usernames and passwords have been exposed in previous data breaches, affecting major companies like LinkedIn, Adobe, Canva, Dropbox, Tesco, and hundreds more. These breaches result in millions of compromised accounts, many of which contain sensitive information that cybercriminals can use to infiltrate your organization.
Unfortunately, the risk doesn’t end when a breach happens. Cybercriminals frequently attempt to use leaked credentials to gain unauthorized access to other accounts, including business-critical systems, email platforms, and cloud services. This is where Owl360IT’s Data Breach Monitoring service steps in, helping to protect your business from the risks associated with compromised accounts.
How Data Breach Monitoring Works
Our Data Breach Monitoring service scans thousands of compromised databases, looking for any of your employees’ usernames or passwords. If a match is found, we immediately alert your team, giving you the opportunity to take action before attackers can exploit the breach.
Here’s how our service works to safeguard your organization:
​
-
Comprehensive Database Scanning: We scan a wide range of known data breach databases that include leaked credentials from well-known platforms like LinkedIn, Adobe, Dropbox, and more. This helps us track any compromised information associated with your employees.
-
Real-Time Alerts: When we detect a match, you’ll receive instant notifications of any compromised credentials. This gives you a critical window of time to change passwords, disable accounts, and take other steps to secure your systems.
-
Employee Notifications: We also directly inform your employees if their personal credentials have been exposed in a breach. This ensures that they are aware of the risk and can take immediate action to protect their accounts.
-
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Recommendations: If compromised credentials are found, we recommend enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to further secure accounts and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
-
Ongoing Monitoring: We continuously monitor the dark web and other sources for new breaches, ensuring that your organization stays protected as new data leaks occur.
Why Data Breach Monitoring is Essential for Your Business
Data breaches are unfortunately common, and once personal or corporate data is leaked, it can be sold on the dark web, shared among hackers, or used in credential stuffing attacks. Without monitoring, your employees’ leaked credentials could be used to gain access to other systems, compromising your business’s sensitive data, intellectual property, and customer information.
Here’s why data breach monitoring is crucial for your business:
​
-
Prevent Unauthorized Access: Leaked credentials can provide cybercriminals with the keys to your business systems. Monitoring for compromised credentials helps prevent unauthorized logins and data theft.
-
Protect Sensitive Data: When employees’ personal accounts are compromised, attackers can access sensitive business systems. Monitoring ensures that any breached information is detected quickly to reduce the risk of data loss or breach.
-
Stay Ahead of Cybercriminals: Cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for compromised credentials that they can use to attack businesses. With data breach monitoring, you can stay ahead of these attacks by being alerted to any leaked data and taking proactive measures to secure your systems.
-
Minimize the Impact of Credential Stuffing Attacks: Leaked usernames and passwords are often used in credential stuffing attacks, where hackers try to log into multiple accounts using the same credentials. By monitoring data breaches, you can protect against this type of attack, which often targets email accounts, CRM systems, and other critical business tools.
-
Reduce the Risk of Account Takeovers: Data breaches increase the risk of account takeovers, where cybercriminals gain control of an employee’s account and use it for malicious purposes. Monitoring for breached credentials allows you to act quickly and prevent these types of attacks.
