Abstract
Real-time monitoring and alerting of breached security credentials for server-based endpoints is described herein. In various embodiments, a software component (that intercepts outgoing network traffic from a computing device) or a server-based breach monitoring component may receive a request for endpoint data. Credential data may be included in the request. The endpoint and/or the credential data may be compared to credential data linked to a list of compromised endpoints. An alert may be generated for the client device when both a match is detected with credential data of a breach object on the list of compromised endpoints and the breach time field of the breach object is after a previous credentials change for the endpoint. Access to the endpoint may be blocked and/or a change password mechanism may also be displayed to change the user credentials prior to revisiting the endpoint.
