This announcement outlines Expel Workbench's updated identity-threat alert taxonomy, splitting alerts into Credential theft (credentials obtained but not observed in use), Account compromise (confirmed login/foothold), and Business Email Compromise (active malicious use of an account). It recommends concrete actions—reset credentials for theft; reset and disable accounts for compromise and BEC—and highlights optional auto-remediation to reduce time-to-contain, improve prioritization, speed response, and simplify reporting for leadership and compliance.
