Imagine this: your security team spends hours investigating a flagged credential breach, only to find out the password has been changed, or the account has robust MFA in place, making it non-exploitable. Meanwhile, real threats linger unnoticed, buried in a sea of false positives.
The reality is that relying solely on traditional threat intelligence tools often creates more noise than clarity. Without context, you’re chasing ghosts while missing the bigger picture. Savvy changes the game by focusing not just on compromised credentials but on toxic combinations of risk—where the vulnerabilities truly align for exploitation.
The Pitfalls of Traditional Threat Intelligence
Threat intelligence tools flag credentials that appear in breach databases, but without deeper analysis, this approach is prone to significant inefficiencies:
- False positives galore: Credentials may be flagged even if the user has changed their password or mitigated the risk through other means.
- No contextual prioritization: These tools fail to distinguish between risks neutralized by MFA and those that leave critical accounts vulnerable.
- Time drain for security teams: Endless investigations into non-critical alerts slow down response times for real threats.
Security teams can’t focus on what matters most when every alert is treated equally.
Savvy’s Smarter Approach: Pinpointing Toxic Combinations of Risk
Savvy redefines credential protection by combining compromised password detection with visibility into the broader security context. This approach highlights toxic combinations of risk—situations where compromised credentials, insufficient MFA, and privileged access intersect to create exploitable vulnerabilities.
Here’s how it works:
Advanced Compromised Password Detection
Leverages public databases of known breaches with secure multi-party computation to ensure sensitive data is never transmitted or stored.
Goes beyond flagging credentials to determine if breached passwords are still actively in use.
Context-Aware Risk Analysis
Identifies whether MFA is enabled and whether privileged access exists for the affected account.
Recognizes layers of security that may neutralize certain risks while surfacing those still exploitable.
Maps user access across all apps—both SSO-connected and unfederated—to capture the full identity landscape.
Prioritized Remediation
Flags accounts where a toxic combination of risk exists: actively compromised passwords, missing MFA, and critical account exposure.
Allows security teams to focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most, saving time and reducing alert fatigue.
Eliminating False Positives: The Savvy Advantage
Savvy doesn’t just detect problems; it ensures those problems are actionable. Here’s how Savvy eliminates false positives while enabling swift, effective remediation:
Real-time visibility: Through a lightweight browser plugin, Savvy silently maps applications accessed with corporate credentials, tracking password hygiene, MFA status, and access privilege.
Risk-based prioritization: Every credential, account, and app is scored based on exposure and sensitivity. This ensures that threats to critical systems are addressed first.
Automation meets intelligence: Customizable playbooks guide users to address weak or compromised credentials while triggering workflows for IT and SOC teams to resolve broader risks efficiently.
Why Toxic Combinations Matter
Not all compromised credentials are created equal. Some may be rendered harmless by robust MFA or limited account permissions. Savvy identifies these distinctions, so security teams aren’t wasting time chasing phantom threats.
By focusing on toxic combinations of risk, Savvy enables:
Faster response times: Security teams spend zero time on issues that don’t matter, directing efforts toward real, exploitable risks.
Proactive defense: Automated workflows ensure risks are addressed before they escalate.
Reduced breach likelihood: By addressing the root causes of vulnerability, Savvy helps organizations avoid being “one password away from a breach.”
One Password Away From a Breach
Every compromised password could be a potential breach—but only if left unchecked. With Savvy, you can uncover the hidden risks that truly matter and eliminate false positives from your workflow. Don’t let one password be the weakest link in your defense.
