NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.: Paramount Defenses, the world’s #1 cyber security company in mission-critical privileged access assessment and Active Directory security, founded by an ex-Microsoft cyber security expert, today announced the availability of Gold Finger 10.0 for Microsoft Active Directory, and introduced the world’s first and only accurate Active Directory Privilege Escalation Path Identifier.
From the United States of America to the Middle East and from the United Kingdom to Australia, Microsoft Active Directory is the foundation of cyber security at thousands of business and government organizations worldwide.
Active Directory is a highly trustworthy, enterprise-grade, time-tested foundational technology that delivers three organizational imperatives – foundational security, operational autonomy and organizational privacy.
The security and defense of Active Directory deployments at governments and businesses worldwide is thus absolutely paramount for organizational security, national security and national sovereignty worldwide.
The number one threat to organizations operating on Active Directory is Active Directory Privilege Escalation because it provides perpetrators the opportunity to very quickly escalate their privilege from ordinary accounts to the most powerful administrative accounts and quickly take over an entire organization.
In fact, virtually all major cyber security breaches in the last decade involved Active Directory Privilege Escalation, and unmitigated this continues to pose a serious threat to Active Directory deployments.
The ability of organizations to mitigate this critical threat lies in the ability to be able to accurately identify and eliminate privilege escalation paths in their foundational Active Directory deployments. Unfortunately, the accurate determination of privilege escalation paths is extremely difficult, time-intensive and prone to error, making it very difficult for organizations to accurately identify and eliminate these privilege escalation paths.
Today there exist several amateur tools from various vendors but none of them can accurately identify privilege escalation paths in Active Directory. In fact, reliance on such tools only delivers inaccurate insights, and organizations that rely on such inaccurate insights are operating on a dangerously false sense of security.
Today, Paramount Defenses announced Gold Finger 10.0, its unique, Microsoft-endorsed suite of access assessment tools for Microsoft Active Directory, and it introduced the world’s first and only accurate privilege escalation path identifier for Microsoft Active Directory.
Active Directory Privilege Escalation Path Identifier is the world’s only tooling that can accurately identify privilege escalation paths in Active Directory, because it is the world’s only tooling that bases its determinations on the accurate assessment of effective permissions (/effective access) in Active Directory.
This unique, innovative, high-value cyber security solution can accurately and instantly identify exactly who has what privilege escalation paths to any object in an Active Directory domain, as well as pinpoint exactly which underlying security permissions in Active Directory ACLs enable each one of these paths.
Armed with such valuable insights, organizations can quickly and effortlessly identify and eliminate all privilege escalation paths in their foundational Active Directory deployments, thereby substantially enhancing foundational cyber security, and virtually eliminating the world’s #1 attack vector from their environments.
“The accurate identification of privilege escalation paths in Active Directory is one of the most important and difficult challenges to solve in all of organizational cyber security, and we are pleased to be able to finally solve this paramount challenge for organizations worldwide,” said Sanjay Tandon, former Microsoft Program Manager for Active Directory Security, and today founder and CEO of Paramount Defenses.
Active Directory Privilege Escalation Path Identifier embodies two decades of innovative research and development and is powered by the company’s unique Microsoft-endorsed, patented access assessment technology. It can accurately identify privilege escalation paths in Active Directory at the touch of a button.
