Keepnet Security Awareness Podcast: What Is Credential Harvesting and How to Stop It

Описание: In this episode of the Keepnet Security Awareness Podcast, we dive into credential harvesting, one of the most common and dangerous techniques used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to systems and sensitive data.

Credential harvesting is often the first step in larger cyber attacks. Attackers use phishing emails, malware, and man-in-the-middle techniques to steal usernames and passwords, allowing them to bypass security controls, impersonate legitimate users, and move laterally within organizations.

We discuss how credential harvesting leads to serious threats such as data breaches, business email compromise, credential stuffing, and financial fraud. The episode also explains why modern defenses must combine strong technical controls like multi-factor authentication with continuous security awareness training. Educating employees through realistic phishing simulations and human risk management platforms helps build a resilient human firewall.

If you want to understand how credential harvesting works and how organizations can proactively defend against it, this episode offers clear and practical insights.
