2020 Spotlight Report on Privileged Access

Vectra research shows that privileged access from unknown hosts occurs inside every industry, leading to unintended exposure of critical systems.

It is this lack of oversight or understanding of how privileged accounts are being used that creates the operational and financial risk for organizations. If used improperly, privileged accounts have the power to cause much damage, including data theft, espionage, sabotage, or ransom.
