Crossword's Arc delivers real-time leaked credentials checking
for
Sticky Password customers
Crossword partners with Sticky Password, one of the most
established password vaults on the market, to integrate Arc, its
real-time credential checking service for consumer apps.
6 December 2022 - London, UK - Crossword Cybersecurity Plc
(AIM:CCS, "Crossword", the "Company" or the "Group"), the
cybersecurity solutions company focused on cyber strategy and risk,
has today announced the integration of Arc , its real-time
credential checking service, with one of the industry's most
well-established secure password vaults, Sticky Password.
Arc is a dark web monitoring solution that provides a continuous
method of checking if credential pairs, stored by a user in the
Sticky Password vault, are an identical match to credentials being
distributed on dark markets that trade in stolen data. Since its
founding in 2001 by a team of former AVG Technologies executives,
Sticky Password has provided secure password management solutions
to millions of users.
Recent research indicates there are over 24 billion stolen
username and password combinations on the Dark Web, a number that
has increased by 65% since 2020. Stolen credentials put users and
organisations at risk of further cybercrime and fraud.
Developed with support from the UK Government's Innovate UK
grant, Arc provides organisations that develop consumer
applications with real-time, secure credential leak checks and
credential stuffing protection for their users. Using cryptographic
exchanges between its data stores and third party applications, Arc
compares user login details that are sent or held by an application
with Arc's proprietary internal leak information, without the need
to send or receive any of the original credentials.
Jon Inns, Product Director for Arc and Trillion, comments: "This
integration signals an evolution in reliable credential security.
Just checking once for the existence of an account password in a
list of millions is an outdated and ineffective security strategy.
The integration of Arc with Sticky Password means that its vaults
can continually and securely check for the existence and sharing of
the full credential pair, without any private information ever
leaving the application. This integration between our technologies
creates a truly unique security combination which is so much more
effective and powerful."
Peter Lipa, VP of Sticky Password North America, adds: "We're
delighted to be working with the team at Crossword. Arc is an
extremely robust dark web monitoring solution that enables us to
provide our users with frequent updates containing detailed
information about real security threats. Together, we're creating
an innovative way of providing users with actionable data that will
increase their online security while preserving their privacy."
