Case Study: Avid Detects Account Takeover with Oort

Avid Account Takeover

Avid, a technology company based in Burlington, MA, needed better visibility into potentially malicious account activity as employees accessed applications remotely from many devices and locations. With credential theft and unauthorized use becoming a growing risk, Avid turned to Oort and its identity monitoring platform to help detect suspicious behavior before it led to compromise.

Using the Oort Platform, Avid was able to spot inappropriate use by an employee within seconds, including an “impossible traveler” pattern with simultaneous sessions from different countries and use of an IP anonymizer. Oort’s behavior-based alerts helped Avid quickly validate the issue and work with HR to address it, giving the team faster detection, better context, and less manual effort during the incident response process.
