Why Compromised Credentials Monitoring Matters

Protect your brand and employees from future attacks through expanded visibility into compromised credentials. 

Proactively Monitor for Stolen and Leaked Credentials

Stolen credentials remain a top threat, with 22% of breaches in the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report linked to credential abuse. These compromises fuel data breaches, account takeovers, and reputational damage.

Monitoring for leaked credentials is essential, but it’s not easy. Limited visibility, access gaps, and lack of expertise often give threat actors the upper hand.

Fortra Brand Protection’s Compromised Credentials Monitoring (CCM) enables rapid detection and response to credential exposure across a wide range of threat sources, including dark web forums, third-party data breaches, infostealers, botnets, and malware logs. By providing deep visibility into compromised employee and customer credentials, CCM supports automated or manual countermeasures — such as password resets, session invalidation, and account lockouts — to reduce the risk of account takeover, lateral movement, and downstream compromise.

FAQ

Credential compromise refers to the unauthorized acquisition of login credentials — such as usernames, passwords, or other authentication details — by someone other than the rightful owner. These compromised credentials are often obtained through cybersecurity breaches and may be sold on the dark web for malicious purposes.
