Pass the Hash (PtH) attacks which use stolen hashed administrator credentials to breach security are a major risk to businesses.
A new report from One Identity, based on a survey of over 1,000 IT professionals carried out by Dimensional Research, finds 95 percent of respondents say that PtH attacks have a direct impact on their organizations.

A worrying aspect of the research is that 68 percent of IT security stakeholders don't know for certain whether they've experienced a PtH attack. In addition four percent don't even know what a PtH attack is.
Organizations are taking steps to guard against these attacks and 55 percent have implemented privileged password management via a password vault. 50 percent have implemented better controls over AD/Azure AD administrator access, and 32 percent have implemented advanced PAM practices such as session audit and analytics.

"Without a holistic and strategic approach to protect privileged accounts and identify privileged access abuse, organizations could very well leave their entire network exposed to cybercriminals leveraging the PtH technique, with detrimental repercussions to the business."
