Service Account Compromise

The Business Challenge

Service accounts are used by operating systems and various applications to perform automated background tasks. These accounts, usually unmonitored, own high access rights and are under constant risk of attack and data compromise.

Security Tools Don’t Address Service Accounts

Security personnel rarely have any tools that are designed to continuously monitor service accounts and their activities. When these accounts undergo data compromise, the attacks generally go unnoticed and unreported.
