Attivo Networks®, the leader in identity detection and response, has been named a Multi-Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for the Fifth Consecutive Year in the Annual AST Homeland Security Awards Program.
Organizations provision human and non-human identities (applications, virtual machines, serverless functions, and such) on the network and in the cloud, which attackers target early in the attack cycle to progress their attacks.
By stealing these identities, they can impersonate authorized users, access resources, move laterally throughout the network and cloud environments, conduct reconnaissance, elevate privileges, identify targets, and compromise data.
Attack surfaces have expanded dramatically with the shift toward remote work putting identity at the forefront of security, a major shift from traditional perimeter-based strategies.
Organizations must now defend identities across the entire enterprise with identity-based, least-privilege access programs and defenses capable of detecting attack escalation and lateral movement on-premises and in the cloud.
Identity security is central to the cybersecurity threat landscape, and the ability to detect and respond to identity-based threats is essential.
While many tools intend to keep networks secure, Identity Detection and Response (IDR) gives organizations a critical new weapon in their arsenal to find and fix credential and entitlement weaknesses and detect live attacks on a real-time basis.
As modern cybercriminals attempt to exploit vulnerable credentials and entitlements to move through networks undetected, IDR solutions play a meaningful role in stopping them, whereas other tools simply cannot.
Additionally, Attivo can seamlessly extend to the cloud and deliver detailed entitlement visibility for identities – including users, applications, containers, serverless functions, and other assets.
Attivo Networks has leveraged its deep experience in privilege escalation and lateral movement detection to become a significant player in the Identity Detection and Response space.
In the last year, the company has secured its leadership position based on its broad portfolio of capabilities that focus on unprecedented visibility to exposures and misconfigurations of identities and entitlements and early detection of credential theft, misuse, and privileged escalation activities.
Attivo’s IDR Suite of Products identity attack surface management solutions for the enterprise, and include the following elements.
ThreatStrike –Detect endpoint credential theft and reuse
-
The Attivo ThreatStrike solution is an agentless technology that resides on the endpoint as the first line of defense against credential theft.
-
Credentials are hidden and bound to applications, while deception credentials lure attackers into engaging and revealing themselves.
-
Through misdirection of the attack, organizations gain the advantage of time to detect, analyze, and stop an attacker.
(The Attivo ThreatStrike End-Point Deception Solution is a customizable and non-intrusive technology that is used to identify targeted attacks of infected end-points, infected servers/VMs, the use of deception stolen credentials, and ransomware attacks on networked drives. The solution also provides for suspicious email submission for threat detection. Courtesy of Attivo Networks and YouTube.)
ThreatPath – Endpoint credential exposures management
-
The Attivo ThreatPath solution discovers hidden elements throughout the network that enable lateral movement, which could be used to advance attacks.
-
Security teams will gain visibility to automatically identify at risk credentials and other sensitive data elements within their organization.
-
These risks and other policy violations are quickly revealed, empowering security professionals with the insights required to proactively shut down paths to critical assets or add deception to strengthen their defenses.
(The Attivo ThreatPath™ solution provides an attack path vulnerability assessment based on likely attack paths that an attacker would traverse through misconfigured systems or credential misuse. A topographical illustration of the attack paths provides a straight-forward view of how an attacker can move laterally once they have engaged with their first end-point system. Clickable drill downs provide the details of weaknesses and IP addresses for systems needing to be isolated and/or fixed. Integrations with prevention systems can be leveraged for automated response actions and trouble tickets can be activated inside the dashboard. Courtesy of Attivo Networks and YouTube.)
ADSecure – Detect AD unauthorized queries from the endpoint
-
Protecting Active Directory has become increasingly complex with pervasive access and a multitude of objects with varying levels of privilege and domain control.
-
Monitoring and keeping this environment secure has become a significant challenge and comes with dire consequences when that control is lost to an attacker.
-
ADSecure takes a different approach to other security solutions by providing early alerting when an attacker makes a query and then prevents their ability to enumerate the network accurately by providing them false information.
ADAssessor – AD exposure management and attack detection
-
Active Directory is one of the main targets of attack because it contains the required information that attackers need to expand their access, establish persistence, elevate privileges, move laterally, and identify targets to attack.
-
By identifying critical AD exposures and alerting on attacks that target them, organizations improve their security before attackers can compromise their AD data.
-
In addition to real-time attack detection, the solution also provides visibility into critical domain, computer, and user-level exposures.
-
These insights easily show identities and service account risk related to credentials, privileged accounts, stale accounts, shared credentials, and AD attack paths.
-
The solution gathers this information efficiently from the domain, so it does not impact day-to-day Active Directory operations or employee access to resources.
(Hear from Ray Kafity, VP of Attivo Networks, as he shares the ‘why’ and ‘how’ on protecting Active Directory. Over 90% of all Global Fortune 1000 organizations use AD to control access and deliver services. Organizations of all sizes are at risk of a supply chain attack or an indirect attack as cybercriminals look to leverage the situation for opportunistic ransomware extortion. The underlying issue is the lack of in-network security, which detects attacker lateral movement and privilege escalation activities. Both are critical tactics used by threat actors.

ATTIVO’S IDENTITY BUNDLES INCLUDE:
Identity Detection and Response (IDR) Bundle:
-
Attivo’s IDR Bundle provides a full Identity Detection and Response (IDR) solution to detect Active Directory attacks, protect against credential theft and misuse, visualize attack paths, as well as detection for lateral movement.
Attivo’s Identity Visibility Bundle:
-
Gives a comprehensive view of threats and vulnerabilities that can provide access to AD.
-
The solutions analyze endpoints to identify stored credentials and misconfigurations that attackers can compromise, continuously monitor exposed credentials and critical paths, and identify lateral attack paths.
-
Additionally, it adds visibility for overprovisioning and excess entitlement management across multi-cloud environments.
Attivo Networks®, the leader in identity detection and response, delivers a superior defense for preventing privilege escalation and lateral movement threat activity.
Customers worldwide rely on the ThreatDefend® Platform for unprecedented visibility to risks, attack surface reduction, and attack detection.
The company’s portfolio provides patented innovative defenses at critical points of attack, including at endpoints, in Active Directory, and cloud environments.
Data concealment technology hides critical AD objects, data, and credentials, eliminating attacker theft and misuse, particularly useful in a Zero Trust architecture.
Bait and misdirection efficiently steer attackers away from production assets, and deception decoys obfuscate the attack surface to derail attacks, and forensic data, automated attack analysis, and automation with third-party integrations serve to speed threat detection and streamline incident response.
ThreatDefend capabilities tightly align to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, and deception and denial are now integral parts of NIST Special Publications and MITRE Shield active defense strategies.
