Introducing Oasis Scout: Revolutionizing ITDR for Non-Human Identities

We're thrilled to announce Oasis Scout, the first ITDR solution tailored for Non-Human Identities (NHIs), now available with our pioneering AuthPrint™ technology. This groundbreaking feature of Oasis NHI Security Cloud offers unparalleled threat intelligence and anomaly detection to protect your digital infrastructure from real and imminent threats.

Oasis Scout is a critical advancement in our roadmap for NHI security risk mitigation and breach prevention. We named it "Scout" because its primary goal is to help you detect (and prevent) real attacks on your NHI infrastructure before they escalate into breaches. Developing such a solution required a significant investment in Threat Intelligence Research, profiling numerous malicious attacker groups actively exploiting NHIs (learn more at our newly released NHI Threat Center).

Why Threat Detection for Non-Human Identities is needed?

NHIs generate an overwhelming number of anomalies, with studies showing that 90% of alerts triggered by general purpose are either false positives or lack sufficient context for action (Ponemon Institute, 2023). This noise significantly burdens security teams, with 68% of organizations reporting alert fatigue as a major challenge in their incident response workflows (Cybersecurity Insiders, 2023). The inability to effectively prioritize and respond to real threats results in an average MTTR (mean time to respond) of 258 days, leaving organizations vulnerable to breaches (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report, 2024).

Existing detection solutions, however, often, either do not account for NHIs or rely on simplistic behavioral analytics algorithms, which contribute to high false-positive rates and inundate security teams with unclear threat signals.

With NHIs breaches are rapidly on the rise, we need a better solution.

Advanced Detection: How Oasis Scout Secures NHIs.

Oasis Scout integrates seamlessly with the Oasis NHI Security Cloud. At its core is our innovative AuthPrint™ technology, a unique intelligent profiling capability that leverages our comprehensive threat intelligence. AuthPrint enhances detection accuracy and response accurately matching identified anomalies to known fingerprints of threat actors. This allows us to deliver high-fidelity detection, avoid alarm fatigue and provide security teams with crucial information about the attackers, their methods, and the necessary countermeasures.

Oasis Scout significantly reduces MTTR (Mean Time to Respond) and operational overhead by seamlessly integrating with the unique capabilities of our platform. These include the Context Reconstruction Engine, Dependency Graph, Ownership Attestation, and Remediation Workflow Automation. Together, they provide the most comprehensive context view in the industry, offering key insights that empower users to prioritize responses effectively, take the right actions, and fully understand the business impact of their decisions. This integration not only streamlines operations but also enhances collaboration across security teams.

By combining discovery, ownership tracking, posture management, and ITDR, Oasis provides full lifecycle security for NHIs, ensuring that every stage of identity security—from proactive defense to real-time remediation—is covered.

Scout's Role in SOC and Incident Response Operations

Scout changes the game shifting left NHI anomaly detection and response. Security Operations Center (SOC) and Incident Response teams can now efficiently achieve several important outcomes that were previously out of reach for NHIs:

• Prevent Unauthorized Access by identifying abnormal behavior, such as NHIs accessing resources from unknown IPs, to stop unauthorized activities early.
• Protect Against Leaked Credentials by flagging compromised credentials and providing actionable steps for mitigation.
• Comply with Location Policies by enforcing location-specific restrictions to maintain regulatory compliance.
• Mitigate Account Takeovers by monitoring unregistered domains to prevent impersonation and unauthorized access.

Proven Success: Oasis Scout in Action

Scout has already achieved remarkable real-world results: 

• Immediate Threat Identification: When "SpectreAvenger" targeted the Admin DB East, Oasis Scout swiftly detected and responded to the attack by providing comprehensive insights, tracing the attack's origin, and formulating a clear remediation plan. This prompt action prevented any damage
  
  
• Credential Protection: During the OperationEndgame breach campaign, Oasis Scout identified leaked credentials for a Finance Dept Admin, recommended immediate credential rotation, and enhanced monitoring, significantly reducing the risk window.

• Automated Responses: When CloudFact Info was accessed from an unrecognized IP, Oasis Scout not only flagged the anomaly but also guided the investigation, leading to revoking the associated secret, and blocking the unauthorized session, effectively preventing a potential breach.
  
  
• Breach Prevention: A global oil and gas equipment provider recently detected a targeted attack involving repeated access attempts against a critical service account. Rather than reacting after the account was compromised, Oasis Scout provided immediate visibility into the attack, allowing the security team to:
  • Disable the compromised account before attackers could escalate privileges.
  • Trace the origin of the attack and identify similar threats in progress.
  • Strengthen NHI security policies to prevent future attempts.

By eliminating manual guesswork and providing immediate, actionable intelligence, Oasis Scout helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic security breach.
