Identity: the common denominator behind CDK and other recent breaches

CDK Global’s recent cyberattack underscores the urgent requirement for robust identity security measures. Companies often overlook the need for identity segregation, leading to security gaps that let cybercriminals penetrate networks. The increasing reliance on cloud platforms and insecure syncing of on-premise passwords further expands attack surfaces. Companies must manage access rigorously, establish a clear definition of normal network behaviour, and promptly identify unusual activity to secure their digital environments, according to John-Paul Cunningham, CISO at Silverfort.
