Better security hygiene for 50k service accounts realized with streaming visibility, monitoring, and privilege chain analytics.
A worldwide mining organization was embarking on its journey towards implementing a robust zero-trust security framework and faced a significant challenge in gaining comprehensive insight into its service accounts.
The lack of visibility into these accounts posed a considerable security risk, hindering the organization's progress toward achieving a trustworthy and secure digital environment. The organization recognized the importance of understanding and cleaning up its service accounts before implementing its zero-trust model.
Anetac’s dynamic identity management platform delivered continuous, streaming visualization and mapping of the organization’s entire service account landscape and their privilege chains.
This enabled quick understanding of the dynamic and complex relationships between service accounts and essential resources, and illuminated potential attack paths and vulnerabilities.
"Anetac, literally, saved us 18 months of manual research on our service account landscape."
CHALLENGES BEFORE ANETAC
The organization had no comprehensive insight into its service accounts, leading to a vulnerability gap in its security posture.
The manual process of sifting through logs for each account took 1-2 days just to create a short-lived map of an account. The effort required for account mapping was resource-intensive and time-consuming, hindering the organization’s agility and responsiveness to emerging security threats
Managing a vast environment with over 50,000 accounts made it challenging to scale security efforts and maintain a comprehensive view of its service account landscape.
The organization struggled to consistently monitor service accounts on an ongoing basis. The lack of continuous monitoring and accountability meant that potential security risks went unnoticed, leaving the organization vulnerable to threats.
