Identity-Based Threat Detection

Identity-based attacks, such as credential theft and phishing, are prevalent threats in today’s cybersecurity landscape. A significant advancement in addressing these threats is the development of tools that can detect and stop such attacks within web browsers. For instance, reverse proxy phishing kits, which can bypass multi-factor authentication, have evolved, prompting security solutions to focus on detecting user behavior rather than specific phishing kits. By analyzing patterns such as attempted logins on suspicious domains, these tools can effectively identify and mitigate phishing attempts before they cause harm.
