Neon Cyber, SpyCloud Partner to Deliver Identity Intelligence at Scale
Cyber Security / Threat Intelligence & Incident Response | 4 min read
Neon Cyber, innovators of the first security platform purpose-built to protect the way modern teams work, has announced a strategic partnership with SpyCloud, the leader in identity threat protection. By joining forces, the two companies merge threat intelligence with the world's largest recaptured identity data repository, empowering customers to quickly determine if an identity has been compromised in a breach, phishing attack, or malware infection — and act before attackers can exploit it.
The Scale of the Credential Threat
Despite decades of awareness training, 60% of breaches involve a human element, with stolen or misused credentials driving 22% of initial access. Because attackers quickly leverage breached usernames and passwords for credential-stuffing attacks across SaaS applications globally, having timely access to this threat data is critical. If a user's credentials have been compromised and they haven't changed their password, a full account takeover is often imminent.
Compounding this risk, SpyCloud's research finds that nearly 70% of all users still reuse passwords — meaning that when attackers obtain stolen credentials from a single breach, malware infection, or successful phishing campaign, the potential for widespread damage is dramatically amplified.
What the Partnership Delivers
"Our partnership with SpyCloud is a game-changer for identity security. We're giving our customers the urgency and clarity they need to secure identities across all their business and personal accounts before attackers can leverage stolen data for credential stuffing. We achieve this through collaboration with SpyCloud's best-of-breed intelligence, which delivers context from dark web breaches and underground sources as soon as a hack or data breach occurs."
— Cody Pierce, CEO and Co-Founder, Neon Cyber
Users of Neon Cyber will gain immediate access to a new set of capabilities enhancing the identity security section of the platform, including new visualisations and contextual alerts when a corporate or personal account has been exposed. No action is required from customers to take advantage of this update — the capabilities are automatically available across all existing configurations.
SpyCloud's Perspective: Actionable Intelligence at the Moment of Breach
"Password reuse continues to be a massive problem for enterprises — with our team finding nearly 70% of all users still use this bad practice. This means that when attackers utilise stolen credentials from a single breach or malware infection or successful phish, they significantly increase their potential for causing widespread damage. By partnering with Neon Cyber, SpyCloud is strengthening its dedication to providing the most comprehensive and actionable identity intelligence, enabling customers to take faster, more effective action to remediate dangerous identity exposures."
— Travis Thornton, Global VP of Partnerships, SpyCloud
Protecting Corporate and Personal Accounts Alike
A key differentiator of this partnership is its scope: the combined platform monitors both corporate and personal accounts for credential exposure. As modern teams increasingly blur the line between work and personal digital life, attackers exploit personal account compromises to gain footholds in corporate environments. Neon Cyber's platform — purpose-built for the way modern teams operate — combined with SpyCloud's recaptured identity data creates a uniquely comprehensive defence against this increasingly common attack vector.
The partnership provides the immediate context needed to make rapid decisions and take action — effectively preventing credential stuffing across all corporate and personal applications before stolen credentials can be weaponised.
