Why Are Active Directory Service Accounts So Vulnerable to Compromise?

Red Flag Alert: Service Accounts Performing Interactive Logins. In the world of account security, we often focus on end user accounts as the weak vector vulnerable to attackers. On the contrary, we at Preempt see something that happens just as frequently: failing to limit exposed and vulnerable service accounts. One clear red flag for any security team should be service accounts performing an interactive login, which would normally be done by a human user, and these instances should be limited in usage as much as possible. Why are service accounts so vulnerable to compromise? See details here, https://lnkd.in/eBANYdp And Now. The best way to understand if your service accounts are vulnerable to compromise is simply understand where all of your service accounts are in your network and limiting those accounts from performing an interactive login.
