Identity and Active Directory security
Analyse accounts, delegations and sensitive groups, then build a prioritised remediation path.
Identity security
Secure Active Directory and reduce attack paths
Understand how one identity, one delegation or one misconfiguration can lead all the way to your most sensitive resources.
A list of vulnerabilities does not tell you what is actually reachable. An attack path does: it links an ordinary identity to a critical asset, and it is fixed by order of effect.
Does this sound familiar?
- Groups and delegations have piled up over the years.
- Privileged accounts are numerous or poorly segmented.
- Dormant and orphaned accounts remain.
- Sensitive changes go unmonitored.
- Teams know the vulnerabilities, but not the exploitation paths.
- Remediation is not prioritised by real effect.
What you are trying to achieve
- Visualise the attack paths.
- Identify accounts and groups at risk.
- Remove dangerous delegations.
- Fix the configurations that matter first.
- Monitor changes.
- Detect abnormal interaction with sensitive assets.
The Ariovis capabilities involved
Each offer keeps its own role. Here is exactly what it brings to this situation.
Privileged access and secrets
Remove the standing privileges that feed the shortest attack paths.
Trapster — Deceptive Security
Place decoys along the identified paths to detect progression as early as possible.
Identity and access penetration testing
Confront the analysis with real exploitation and verify what is genuinely reachable.
IAM operations
Monitor sensitive changes and hold the level reached after remediation.
Where to start
Map critical assets, privileged identities, delegations and the main paths leading to them.
- 01Define what really matters: domain controllers, critical applications and data.
- 02Analyse the groups, delegations and ACLs granting access to them.
- 03Reconstruct the shortest paths from an ordinary identity.
- 04Prioritise remediation by the number of paths it removes.
