Attivo Networks announces continuous assessment and enforcement of privileged access
Attivo Networks , an industry expert in lateral movement attack detection and privilege escalation prevention , has announced the expansion of its Active Directory protection suite of products with a new and innovative way to discover and remediate exposures in Active Directory ( AD ) that could lead to breaches .
“ Protecting Active Directory should be on the radar of every executive team .
“ The consequences can be dire when an attacker uses Active Directory to compromise all critical resources and identities gaining access to key applications , data and tampers with security policies ,” said
Srikant Vissamsetti , Senior Vice President of Engineering at Attivo Networks .
“ Since Active Directory is the jumping off point for so many attacks , security executives must prioritize the protection of Active Directory and Kerberos authentication vulnerabilities ,” said Steve Hunt , Senior Analyst at Aite Group .
Active Directory is a directory service used by over 90 % of all enterprises for employee authentication , identity management and access control . It is notoriously complex to secure , with attackers using privileged access , which AD controls , in over 80 % of all attacks .
The new ADAssessor solution reduces this risk by finding , fixing and remediating exposures within AD and limits the attacker ’ s ability to identify sensitive targets , compromise misconfigurations , move laterally and gain persistence .
