Attivo extends Active Directory assessment to hybrid and cloud deployments

Security provider Attivo Networks has expanded its identity infrastructure assessment technology for Azure Active Directory with hybrid environment support.

Attivo ADAssessor now provides continuous exposure visibility and remediation guidance for on-premises, cloud, and managed Active Directory (AD) environments.

An additional 15 automated Azure AD risk health checks and remediation guidance are provided by the new version.

“The Attivo ADAssessor solution continues to provide essential identity exposure visibility across on-premises and cloud deployments, now including Azure AD,” said Attivo Networks senior vice president of engineering Srikant Vissamsetti.

“Enterprises can now reduce risk by finding, fixing, and remediating exposures within AD. Our technology limits the attacker’s ability to identify sensitive targets, compromise misconfigurations, move laterally, and gain persistence across hybrid environments.”

ADAssessor is deployed without elevated privileges to a single standard workstation within the AD forest. It includes a management console for analysis and management.
