KELA Launches Identity Protection Solution to Stop Cyber Attacks at Their Source

As threat actors look for new ways to circumvent advanced Firewalls, EDRs, and other security controls, they increasingly turn to using valid corporate account credentials — gaining access through tools like VPNs, Active Directory, and other production systems, making it much harder for security teams to detect and mitigate the attack. These credentials, stolen through tactics like infostealer malware and advanced phishing attacks, and widely traded in the cybercrime underground, have become the attackers' weapon of choice, and are now considered the leading  cause of cyber attacks.

KELA's Identity Guard leverages enhanced sources and methods, combining AI analytics with validated human intelligence to detect and intercept compromised assets and identities  in real time as they are traded in the cybercrime underground, including on botnet markets and Telegram channels. The system automates the process of quarantining compromised assets or suspending identities, preventing their exploitation.

"With over a threefold increase in the use of infostealer malware in the past year, credential theft has become the most common method used by cybercriminals to infiltrate organizations, making identity protection a crucial part in any cybersecurity strategy," says David Carmiel, KELA CEO and co-founder. "Identity Guard gives customers immediate access to unique intelligence directly from cybercriminal sources, allowing them to automate defense mechanisms such as quarantining or account reset. This real-time protection ensures that compromised credentials don't become entry points for attacks."

KELA's Identity Guard provides comprehensive identity protection, safeguarding against the risk of compromised assets and identities across an organization's entire digital footprint. Key benefits of the solution include:
