This guide outlines six key capabilities needed to effectively detect and respond to credential-based attacks, which remain a primary entry point for cyber threats in public sector environments. It emphasizes the use of user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) to identify anomalies, automated timelines to consolidate events across systems, and lateral movement detection to uncover attacker progression. Additional focus areas include user-centric summaries for better context, risk-based alert prioritization to reduce noise, and the ability to augment existing SIEM tools. Together, these capabilities help security teams overcome the limitations of legacy systems, reduce investigation time, and improve accuracy when identifying compromised credentials.
