Use the Data Breach Assessment to find out which of your access data has already been sold and what external attack surface your company offers.

Data Breach Assessment - recognizing data leakage at an early stage

Attackers often use legitimate, compromised access data to penetrate companies. As they log in using common methods, it is often difficult to distinguish between a legitimate and malicious login. These credentials are captured in two different ways:

Access data stored in the web browser is transferred from a computer that has been compromised with Infostealer malware. These accesses are sold via marketplaces or forums on the Darknet and on chat platforms.

Employees register with third-party providers using their work email address. If a security incident occurs there, the user databases of these services are often compromised and sold on to other cyber criminals.

What does our Data Breach Assessment Service offer?

Dark Web Monitoring

We continuously monitor sources that indicate the publication or sale of your data and inform you immediately if an incident occurs.

Protection against typosquatting

We identify similar domains at an early stage and support you in deactivating such threats.

Monitoring supply chains and partner companies

Potentially compromised suppliers or partners are monitored for ransomware leaks, among other things. If relevant information is published, you will be informed immediately.

Analysis of internet-exposed systems

Regular scans of your systems uncover known vulnerabilities (CVEs).

With our tool-based approach, we identify traces on the internet and darknet, especially for critical systems and VIPs such as management. This minimizes the effort and maximizes the efficiency of your cyber threat intelligence.

Protect your company proactively – with SECUINFRA’s Data Breach Assessment!

To visualize the dangers and make the threat easier to understand, consider the following example:

An employee catches an infostealer on his private computer which, among other things, reads access data from the browser. By synchronizing the browser account between private and company computers, the attackers also gain access to company data. These access data are offered for sale and acquired by other cyber criminals within a very short time. This also includes the VPN access data that allows the cybercriminals to access the company network. This allows attackers to cause considerable damage in a very short time.

We help you to identify stolen data and compromised systems quickly and efficiently.

How we carry out Data Breach Assessments

During the configuration phase, we work with you to select suitable selectors for the search for your company data. Selectors can be URLs, IPs, user/email addresses, security keys, etc., among others. To obtain a comprehensive overview, SECUINFRA recommends focusing on critical systems, such as

  • Your company domain or Active Directory domain
  • Host names or IP addresses of publicly accessible systems such as firewalls or VPN gateways
  • E-mail addresses of VIP users (members of management or administrators – employees with extended rights to IT systems).

These are then configured for the service and the scan is started.

The scanning phase depends on the selected service package:

AdHoc Data Breach Assessment
In our AdHoc service, all incoming incidents are categorized, analysed and assessed by our experts. If a security incident is identified, you will be informed immediately.

Continuous Data Breach Assessment
With our Continuous Service, the initial scan of the systems is regarded as a baseline scan. It provides a qualitative overview of the current security and risk situation in relation to the selectors under consideration. Follow-up scans are carried out at regular intervals, which build on the baseline scan and in which only the changes are considered. Continuous Data Breach Assessment in particular makes the analysis more efficient with each subsequent follow-up and exfiltrations or stolen data can be detected much faster before attackers can explicitly exploit them.

In the analysis phase, our cyber defense experts examine the scan results and identify stolen data and compromised IT systems. The events are described, divided into criticality classes and provided with clear recommendations for action. You will be informed immediately if the results are particularly critical.

After each scan, you receive a detailed report with all security-relevant results, detailed descriptions, evaluations and clear recommendations for action. The report will be presented to you in a video conference.

The most important FAQs from the field of Data Breach Assessment

The SECUINFRA Data Breach Assessment uses tools to specifically search for traces of stolen or leaked data/information on the Internet and Darknet. A data breach assessment can also reliably detect compromised IT systems. By quickly detecting a compromise, countermeasures can be initiated at an early stage and the attacker’s access to critical systems and data can be prevented. Major damage can thus be avoided.

As a rule, the domains of your company are required. This also includes domains of subcontractors, foreign locations, etc. Optionally also the IPs of publicly accessible systems and the names of their VIPs.

We generally differentiate between an ad hoc and a continuous scan. In an ad hoc scan, we search all sources once and present you with the results. With a continuous scan, we search all sources regularly and inform you immediately when we have made a discovery.

This of course depends on the result. If your data is published because an attacker has penetrated your network, we also offer you a Digital Forensics & Incident Response Service.

Another component of our service is a takedown service based on the best-effort principle. If this is not possible in your case, we will be happy to advise you on alternative mitigation measures.

Our team is available for you around the clock. As soon as a finding is detected that requires immediate intervention, the responsible persons are informed directly.

Our service not only fits seamlessly into your company’s existing security concepts, but also enhances them. SECUINFRA Data Breach Assessment goes far beyond the possibilities of classic breach detection and thus closes existing gaps in detection. The areas of Cyber Threat Intelligence, Digital Risk Protection and External Attack Surface Management are covered by the SECUINFRA Data Breach Assessment.

SECUINFRA’s Data Breach Assessment Service can be used both preventively – without a known threat situation – and after a security incident has already occurred. The latter scenario includes, for example, situations in which an initial cyber attack on your company network has been confirmed and there are initial indications that data has been exfiltrated or access data has been offered for sale. Our Data Breach Assessment clarifies the possible exploitation of this data and the associated spread of an attack in record time, thus preventing major damage.
