Knowledge bases are a growing industry due to the information required in the background to support multiple applications and daily tasks for employees. These knowledge bases are filled with an abundance of information. This information could include passwords, keys and other credentials that could be critical for an organization. According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 78% of attacks on web applications involved the use of stolen credentials with credentials and personally identifiable information as a target. With the Mismanaged Credential Finder, this application is looking to find and help remedy credentials that are in these knowledge bases. By doing so, this application is looking to help IT professionals manage their knowledge base and enforce cybersecurity policies. In doing so, our goal is to minimize risk due to a knowledge base breach for an organization.
