Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for identifying security risks, arising from credentials existing on machines in the networks that enable access to other machines on the networks. Account credentials indications are retrieved from machines in the network, which indicate that credentials for accounts are stored on those machines. Access rights for accounts are collected, describing the access and operation permissions of these accounts on machines in the networks. A correlation is then performed to identify machines that can be accessed by employing credentials of accounts retrieved from other machines in the network.
