Passwordstate Password Manager Breach: Free Questionnaire to Assess Supply Chain Risk

Mitratech Staff |

On April 24, 2021, Click Studios announced that a recent in-place upgrade of their Passwordstate password manager product had been comprised between April 20th and 22nd
with invasive malware. The malware collected sensitive data, including passwords held in the Passwordstate system. Customers were informed to deploy a hotfix package and reset all passwords held in the system.

Assess Your Third-Party Exposure to the Passwordstate Breach

Since Passwordstate is widely used by 370,000 security and IT professionals in 29,000 organizations, Prevalent has curated an 8-question assessment that can be leveraged to rapidly identify any potential impacts to your business by determining which of your third parties was affected by the malware and whether or not they have an incident response plan in place to address any risks.

Prevalent Can Help Accelerate Third-Party Incident Response

Prevalent recently introduced the Third-Party Incident Response Service, a solution that helps to rapidly identify and mitigate the impact of supply chain breaches like the Passwordstate malware attack by providing a platform to centrally manage vendors, conduct targeted event-specific assessments, score identified risks, and access remediation guidance. Prevalent offers this solution as a managed service to enable your team to offload the collection of critical response data so they can focus on remediating risks instead.

Complementing the Incident Response Service is Prevalent’s continuous cyber and business breach monitoring that provides regular updates on breach disclosures, adverse news events, and cyber incidents such as malicious dark web activity about your vendors.

Together, these solutions help to automate breach impact discovery and accelerate response.
