Privileged Account Discovery
Automatically detect, onboard, and centralize privileged accounts.
Unmanaged privileged accounts that fly under your radar pose a greater risk than active ones for many reasons
Lack of monitoring
As undiscovered accounts are not monitored, there’s a risk that malicious actors can exploit them without being detected.
Vulnerable credentials
The credentials of unmanaged privileged accounts may be weak, reused, or stored insecurely, making those accounts easy targets for attackers.
Privilege escalation
Cyberattackers can use such accounts to covertly gain access to critical systems and escalate their access throughout the network.
No accountability
Overlooked privileged accounts often lack attribution, making it hard to tie specific actions back to a user.
Legal risks
Unmanaged accounts may fall outside the scope of the security measures required by GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, which may lead to legal penalties and fines.
Outdated security
practices
Orphaned accounts are less likely to be subject to modern security practices like multi-factor authentication.
Syteca’s account discovery feature can bring all privileged accounts within your IT environment under your control.
How account discovery works
Account discovery is a part of Syteca’s privileged access management (PAM). The feature automates the detection of privileged accounts across Active Directory and local Windows systems. No account is missed.
