DETECTING SHARED OR COMPROMISED CREDENTIALS THROUGH ANALYSIS OF SIMULTANEOUS ACTIONS

A privileged account management system can detect when credentials used to access one or more servers have been shared or otherwise compromised. This detection can occur through analysis of simultaneous actions that are performed via multiple sessions associated with the same administrator. When two or more sessions associated with the same administrator are opened, the interactions performed over each of the sessions can be monitored to identify whether such interactions could be performed by a single administrator. If it is determined that the interactions over the multiple sessions could not reasonably be performed by a single administrator, various actions can be taken to address the possible breach to the security of the one or more servers.
