Gartner®: How to Mitigate Account Takeover Risks

Account takeovers (ATOs) remain a major security challenge for organizations across all industries. Despite the implementation of robust active authentication measures, attackers continue to find ways to bypass these defenses and gain access to valuable accounts. This report explores the evolving landscape of ATOs and provides practical strategies for organizations to strengthen their defenses.

Our key insights from the report:

• Organizations often overlook phishing protection outside their infrastructure, leading to account takeovers during the digital journey time.

 

• Overreliance on active authentication measures during login processes limits the effectiveness of security.

 

• Passive authentication, such as device profiling and bot mitigation, is underutilized for risk assessment without impacting user experience.

 

•  Account recovery processes are vulnerable due to reliance on password reset emails or security questions.

 

• Holistic identity infrastructure strategies are often neglected, leading to fragmented ATO prevention efforts.
