Kaspersky has released a new update to its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, introducing capabilities that further strengthen monitoring, threat detection and investigation across customer environments and give security teams broader context for faster, more confident decisions.
According to the Anatomy of a Cyber World: Global Report by Kaspersky Security Services, attacks leveraging valid accounts represent 25% of all initial attack vectors. Instead of exploiting software vulnerabilities, attackers increasingly rely on stolen or leaked legitimate credentials, making their activity appear as normal user behaviour and significantly harder to detect.
To help organisations address this challenge, Kaspersky has integrated Digital Footprint Intelligence (DFI) data into Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response (MDR), so now the product automatically correlates intelligence on leaked credentials with security events in real time. This enables analysts to identify potential account compromise earlier, prioritise incidents more accurately and carry out more targeted threat hunting, helping security teams catch account misuse sooner and reduce the risk of unauthorised access before it escalates into a full-blown attack.
