Insight from SecureAuth on the recent Deloitte cyber-attack

September 2017 by Stephen Cox, Chief Security Architect, SecureAuth

The comment from Stephen Cox, Chief Security Architect, SecureAuth about the breaking news story of Deloitte hit by cyber-attack.

“The misuse of administrator credentials in the Deloitte incident is strong affirmation that identity is now at the center of information security. We’re seeing breach after breach leveraging stolen credentials as an attack vector and even skilled information security practitioners are struggling with this threat. Part of the problem is a general lack of acknowledgement of the importance of identity security in relation to network and endpoint security; these are now the three pillars of security. We have highly distributed organisations across on-premise and cloud infrastructure. Identity is the glue that binds everything together.”

“Organisations should be rethinking their approach to identity security. The password is dead and even vanilla two-factor authentication is not enough. We must raise the bar with adaptive access control methods that apply risk analysis and introduce a biometric second factor, eliminating the utterly broken technology of password-based authentication”
