Make identity risks visible for every account — and turn them into actionable insights.

Forestall is an agentless Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platform. It helps information security and IT teams identify risks associated with identities, analyze attack paths and privilege escalation opportunities, and reduce risks across user, service, and privileged accounts — without requiring Domain Admin privileges or deploying agents on endpoints.

What is ISPM (Identity Security Posture Management)?
ISPM (Identity Security Posture Management) is an approach to continuously discovering, assessing, and strengthening the security posture of identity infrastructures. It helps organizations identify misconfigurations, excessive privileges, and potential attack paths before they can be exploited by attackers.

Forestall also functions as an IVIP (Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platform), providing deep visibility and analytics across identity environments. The platform delivers comprehensive insight into risks associated with both human and non-human identities, including service accounts, applications, and automated processes.
Does Forestall Require Agent Deployment?
Forestall uses read-only connectors to collect data and analyze the security posture of identity environments. To provide visibility and perform risk assessments, no agents are required on endpoints, enabling fast deployment with minimal operational impact.
Does Forestall Require Elevated Privileges?
Forestall is designed according to the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) and relies on read-only integrations for data collection and analysis. The platform does not require Domain Admin rights or other equivalent elevated privileges to operate.

This approach enables organizations to securely assess identity security posture, identify risks, and analyze attack paths without introducing excessive access permissions into the environment.
What Outcomes Do Teams Achieve with Forestall?
Teams gain a prioritized view of identity-related risks, actionable remediation guidance, audit-ready reporting, and the evidence needed to support compliance, governance, and security improvement initiatives.
How Does Attack Path Analysis Help Prioritize Risk Remediation?
Attack path analysis reveals which identities, privileges, and relationships create the shortest and most realistic paths to critical asset compromise. This enables security teams to focus remediation efforts on the risks that will have the greatest impact on reducing overall exposure and improving security posture.
Which Identity Management Environments Does Forestall Support?
Forestall supports Microsoft Active Directory (including both single-forest and multi-forest environments), Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), and Microsoft 365 services, including Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.

The platform provides unified visibility across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid identity environments, enabling consistent security assessment and risk analysis across the entire identity ecosystem.
