Orphaned accounts are user accounts that remain active even after an employee, contractor, or external partner no longer needs access.
Every organization accumulates these accounts over time—employees leave, contractors finish projects, and external users lose relevance. Many of these accounts remain active long after they are needed, creating invisible risk.
Orphaned accounts can be exploited by attackers, abused by malicious insiders, or serve as unintended backdoors into critical systems.
CISOs and IT teams face the challenge of managing hundreds or thousands of accounts without clear visibility. Stale accounts can lead to:
Unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical applications
Compliance violations when accounts exist beyond retention policies
Operational risk as attackers or malicious insiders leverage dormant credentials
Increased attack surface that grows with every orphaned account
Audit challenges and wasted IT resources trying to track and remove them manually
