Active Directory ITDR & Protection

Take Charge: Secure Active Directory, Stop Lateral Movement, Eliminate Privilege Escalation

“Identity has become the new perimeter. 94% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach in the last year.” — Identity Defined Security Alliance, 2024
Without robust protection, attackers exploit AD misconfigurations, steal credentials, and escalate privileges to move laterally undetected.

Whiteswan’s cutting-edge Active Directory ITDR & Protection solution empowers organizations to fortify AD, stop identity threats, and future-proof access security — without disrupting operations.

Why Active Directory (AD) Security Matters

Whiteswan’s AD ITDR delivers continuous, real‑time monitoring and automated protection—ensuring every identity has only the exact privileges needed and stopping threats before they spread.

85% of breaches begin with compromised credentials, and identity‑based attacks have surged by 39% in the past year.
Once inside, attackers escalate privileges, move laterally, and deploy ransomware—all while traditional tools remain blind to credential theft, privilege abuse, and unauthorized access.
AD is a prime target: over‑provisioned accounts and excessive permissions across both AD and connected applications create hidden attack paths.

One Platform, Complete Active Directory Defense

Whiteswan’s Active Directory ITDR & Protection Platform offers a unified solution to detect threats, prevent lateral movement, and enforce Zero Standing Privileges across your identity infrastructure:

Attack Path Discovery: Automatically map misconfigurations, excessive privileges, and hidden escalation paths.
Lateral Movement Detection: Identify and halt east-west movement before attackers reach critical assets.
Privilege Escalation Prevention: Block unauthorized privilege changes and admin rights abuse in real-time.
Service Account Protection: Monitor, control, and automate security for non-human accounts across AD.
Continuous Authentication: Enforce device-bound MFA and session verification for sensitive resources.
Agentless, Seamless Deployment: Integrate into your on-premises, hybrid, or cloud AD environment with minimal friction.

Why Whiteswan’s Active Directory ITDR & Protection Stands Out

In a world of complex identity threats, Whiteswan’s differentiated approach provides unparalleled depth, speed, and simplicity. What sets us apart:

Deep Identity-First Threat Detection: Purpose-built to expose hidden identity risks inside Active Directory.
Zero Trust Enforcement Across AD: Enforce JIT access, continuous MFA, and risk-based privilege controls.
Agentless Architecture: No agents or disruptive network changes required for rapid deployment.
Unified Monitoring and Response: Real-time dashboards, auto-remediation, and threat attribution reports.
Seamless Integration: Connect easily with SIEM, SOAR, and compliance platforms for holistic security.

How Whiteswan Protects Active Directory

Real-Time Active Directory Threat Detection

Real-Time Active Directory Threat Detection: Detects Pass‑the‑Hash, Pass‑the‑Ticket, Golden Ticket, and other credential‑based attacks the moment they occur.
DCSync & Domain Admin Monitoring: Blocks unauthorized replication of AD credentials and flags any misuse of domain admin rights.
Misconfiguration & Over‑Permissioning Alerts: Identifies risky policy changes, rogue AD modifications, and excessive application permissions that expose high‑value assets.
Emerging Threat Coverage: Leverages weekly threat‑intelligence updates to counter advanced exploits like PetitPotam, noPac/Sam the Admin, and ntlmrelayx.

Identity Threat Hunting & Risk Analytics

Advanced Reconnaissance Detection: Flags LDAP enumeration, BloodHound/SharpHound sweeps, and Kerberoasting attempts indicative of privilege abuse.
Honeypot Identity Lures: Deploys deceptive accounts and applications to trap attackers and illuminate hidden attack paths.
Forensic Logging & Attribution: Captures every authentication and change event to fuel rapid, post‑incident investigations.
ML‑Powered Risk Scoring: Accurately surfaces misaligned or excessive privileges—across AD and SaaS apps—with 99.7% detection accuracy and 82% fewer false positives than legacy SIEMs.

Preventing Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation

Just‑in‑Time (JIT) Admin Access: Grants role‑specific, time‑bound privileges—eliminating standing admin rights and curbing over‑provisioning.
Automated Privilege Revocation: Instantly revokes unauthorized escalations to enforce least‑privilege continuously.
Identity‑Based Micro‑Segmentation: Establishes dynamic zones that contain lateral movement, even if an attacker breaches one segment.
Privileged Session Monitoring: Records & analyzes admin sessions in real time, terminating any suspicious activity immediately.

Seamless Integration & Compliance Readiness

Hybrid AD & Cloud Identity Monitoring: Unifies on‑prem, hybrid, and Azure Entra ID environments alongside AWS IAM, GCP, and Okta.
Automated Compliance Reporting: Generates SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI‑DSS audit‑ready logs and summaries.
SIEM, SOAR & IAM Orchestration: Feeds alerts and contextual data into your existing security stack for rapid, automated remediation.
API‑First Architecture: Integrates effortlessly via RESTful APIs and webhooks, embedding into your orchestration and ticketing workflows.
