NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

​​When it comes to phishing, SpyCloud stands apart from competitors because it’s the only security provider that is recapturing successfully phished data and phished targeting data at scale. Unlike traditional detection tools, SpyCloud understands what happens after an attacker succeeds — and, just as critically, what happens before, by uncovering phished targeting data: lists of potential victim domains assembled by cybercriminals to execute future campaigns. This proactive intelligence gives organizations the ability to identify who is being targeted before an attack occurs, allowing them to harden defenses, educate users, and preempt phishing attempts.

This year, phishing attacks became the leading entry point for ransomware delivery, and 94% of Fortune 50 companies now have employee identity data exposed as a result. Even more concerning, 82% of these same companies had their email credentials compromised in prior data breaches, giving attackers a critical advantage. By analyzing millions of recaptured phished records, dozens of phishing kits, and target domain lists, SpyCloud provides early warning of adversary activity and insight into both the stolen data circulating in the criminal underground.

SpyCloud maintains the world’s largest repository of recaptured breach and malware data: nearly a trillion assets from 65,000+ breaches, malware infections, phishing attacks, and private criminal forums. It turns both exposed data and proactive targeting intelligence into actionable, identity-based insights that help organizations prevent future attacks before they start.

Powered by proprietary technology and advanced data science, SpyCloud dynamically correlates billions of darknet data points to uncover hidden relationships across enterprise identities, including phishing attacks on personal accounts. Once an exposure is detected, or an individual appears on a phished targeting list, corrective actions like password resets or access blocks can be triggered automatically, reducing response time and potential damage.

SpyCloud researchers also infiltrate underground criminal communities to recapture data from malware-infected machines, botnets, and phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) infrastructure – often weeks or months before public disclosure.

Beyond detection and remediation, SpyCloud helps organizations build long-term resilience against phishing campaigns that recycle stolen credentials. Tools like Active Directory Guardian close the loop between phishing and credential compromise by blocking reused or weak passwords tied to phishing or breach data.

Altogether, SpyCloud reduces the time between exposure and action, automates remediation to minimize human intervention, and integrates seamlessly with identity and access management systems. Only SpyCloud detects phishing attempts, identifies who attackers are preparing to target next, and turns that intelligence into prevention with unmatched sophistication and speed.
