Identity & Active Directory Exposure
Close the paths attackers actually walk
Attackers do not hack in; they log in using abused credentials, privilege sprawl, and hidden trust delegations. KnightGuard continuously visualizes tier-0 access graphs across on-premises Active Directory and cloud identity providers, eliminating lateral movement choke points before an intruder can pivot.
Stages this advances
Highlighted stages are where this capability does the work.
Define the exposure surface that matters to the business.
Continuously inventory assets, identities and exposures.
Rank by exploitability and business impact, not CVSS alone.
Prove which exposures are actually exploitable.
Drive owners, SLAs and evidence to closure.
Discovery
Continuously inventory assets, identities and exposures.
Merge external attack surface, cloud, identity and vulnerability telemetry into one deduplicated exposure graph.
Validation
Prove which exposures are actually exploitable.
Attack path analysis and safe simulation confirm whether a finding is reachable and whether controls stop it.
Mobilization
Drive owners, SLAs and evidence to closure.
Automated routing into ITSM, owner accountability and board-ready evidence that exposure is trending down.
Structured Execution Workflow
End-to-end continuous exposure lifecycle mapping adversary actions into validated defensive posture.
01. Attack Path Mapping from Initial Access to Tier-0 Assets
Graphically map every credential escalation path, trust boundary, and lateral movement route leading from perimeter footholds to domain controllers and critical cloud roles.
02. Detection of Privilege Sprawl, Stale Accounts & Delegation Abuse
Continuously identify shadow administrators, unconstrained delegations, orphaned service principals, and Kerberoasting vulnerabilities across on-prem Active Directory and Entra ID.
03. Continuous Threat Validation of Identity Controls
Validate MFA resilience, privileged access management (PAM) controls, and conditional access policies through safe attack emulation without disrupting enterprise identity services.
04. Prioritised Choke-Point Fixes & Automated Remediation
Cut off dozens of attack paths with high-leverage choke-point fixes instead of manually triaging thousands of isolated permission anomalies, streaming tickets directly into ITSM.
