Wherever There’s Ransomware, There’s Service Account Compromise. Are You Protected?

Service accounts, non-human identities used for machine-to-machine communication, have become a primary target for ransomware attacks due to their high access privileges and low visibility. Existing security measures like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) are ineffective at protecting these accounts. Silverfort’s identity security platform, however, uses AI for automated discovery, behavioural analysis, and policy creation to secure service accounts against potential cyber threats.
