Closing the Credential Risk Visibility Gap: What Our VP of Product Shared with 100+ Security Execs
Dozens of CISOs and cybersecurity executives gathered earlier this month for Innovate Nashville, an invitation-only educational cybersecurity summit that Dashlane was proud to sponsor. The event was a chance to learn from industry leaders about everything from generative AI’s use case in cybersecurity to how self-awareness can unlock professional growth.
As Dashlane’s VP of Product Management, I had the honor of giving a talk to 124 in-person attendees about why their organization’s credential risk visibility gap poses a major threat to their bottom line, reputation, and ability to stay in business. Then, I covered how to close the gap.
For those who couldn’t attend the summit or would simply like a refresher, check out my full slide deck here or read my summary below.
Why the credential risk visibility gap persists
Choosing credential risk visibility as my presentation topic felt like a no-brainer. After all, stolen credentials remain the leading cause of breaches, AI is fueling an increase in threat volume and sophistication, and shadow IT has worsened since the rise of hybrid and remote work.
Plus, SSO isn’t the solution many organizations had hoped it would be. IT leaders estimate that 37% of their corporate apps aren’t behind SSO, according to a Dashlane survey of 500 IT leaders and 1,000 employees in the U.S.
That same survey also found that:
- 84% of IT leaders report a recent increase in phishing volume, sophistication, or both
- 80% of IT leaders say phishing attempts targeting their organization are on the rise
- 74% of IT leaders say AI poses an increased threat to password security
Clearly, there’s a large gap between what an organization's true credential risks are and security teams’ knowledge of those risks, as well as their ability to address them before it’s too late.
How to close the credential risk visibility gap
For your organization to close this gap, it needs:
- Real-time monitoring: Continuous event monitoring of credential data for all employees, including employees not logged into a credential manager and those using shadow IT
- Risk detection: Awareness of every employee’s weak or compromised credentials to identify where your organization’s credential risks are
- Actionable data and automation: Reporting and activity logs that give admins a clear picture of their organization’s credential risk posture and automated, real-time, in-context notifications to employees about actionable ways to improve their credential security
Organizations can get all three with Credential Risk Detection, available in the Dashlane web extension.
Credential Risk Detection gives organizations real-time visibility into weak and compromised passwords across all employees, even if they aren’t using Dashlane. Our advanced algorithms scan and detect at-risk credentials before they can be exploited. Now, IT admins can review the credential risk data and decide whether to add vulnerable employees to their Dashlane plan.
Employees can even get automated alerts in real time about their compromised, weak, and reused passwords as part of their day-to-day workflow. The alerts are personalized for each employee and help them securely protect their credentials in the Dashlane vault and improve their credential hygiene without any time or effort from IT.
Closing the credential risk visibility gap with industry-first Credential Risk Detection protects your organization’s present and future. Don’t wait to get started.
