Reveal Every Path to Compromise — and Stop It Before It Matters

Build a complete access graph across identities, privileges, and relationships to uncover attack paths, privilege escalation opportunities, hidden administrators (Shadow Admins), and critical exposure points. Understand how both human and non-human identities can be leveraged to reach your most sensitive assets.

From Isolated Risks to Complete Attack Path Visibility

Illustration

Challenge

Identity-related risks rarely exist in isolation. Misconfigured delegations, stale service accounts, and excessive group memberships may appear harmless on their own, yet together they can create complete privilege escalation paths—from a standard workstation to Tier-0 assets and other critical resources.

Our Solution

Forestall unifies on-premises and cloud identities into a single access graph, automatically discovering privilege escalation paths and hidden administrators (Shadow Admins). Interactive visualizations, built-in queries, and critical asset analysis help security teams identify and eliminate the most dangerous attack paths with minimal effort.

Real-World Use Cases

Hidden Administrator Discovery and Remediation
Scenario:A security team suspects that a significant number of accounts have indirect administrative privileges through delegation chains and nested group memberships but lacks visibility into the true scope of the issue.
How Forestall Helps:
● Automatically identifies all Shadow Admins and their access paths to Tier-0 assets.● Quantifies indirect administrative access paths across the environment.● Pinpoints critical choke points where remediation can eliminate the greatest number of privileged access paths.● Tracks reductions in Shadow Admin exposure over time as remediation actions are implemented.
Outcome:Security teams gain visibility into hidden administrative privileges, often discovering that up to 10% of identity objects exhibit Shadow Admin characteristics. By addressing risky delegation chains and excessive group memberships, organizations can systematically reduce identity-related risk.

Attack Path Analysis During Incident Response
Scenario:During an active security incident, SOC analysts need to quickly understand which resources a compromised identity can access and which critical assets may be at risk.

How Forestall Helps:
● Instantly visualizes attack paths from the compromised identity to Tier-0 assets and other critical resources.● Identifies relationships and delegations that could enable lateral movement.● Reveals the shortest path to Domain Admin–level or equivalent privileged access.● Highlights other identities that share the same privilege escalation paths.
Outcome:SOC teams can assess the potential impact of a compromise within minutes, enabling faster containment decisions and more effective threat response.

Tier Access Model Validation
Scenario:A security architecture team has implemented a Tier Model to segment privileged access but needs to verify that the model is functioning as intended and that no access paths exist from lower tiers to Tier-0 assets.
How Forestall Helps:
● Automates Tier Model analysis across the entire identity environment.● Identifies all access paths that violate established tier boundaries.● Highlights the identities, permissions, and relationships responsible for segmentation policy violations.● Tracks improvements in Tier Model compliance over time.
Outcome:Security architecture teams gain data-driven validation that their Tier Model is operating effectively, based on actual identity relationships and access paths rather than documentation and policy assumptions alone.

Proactive Attack Surface Reduction
Scenario:A security team wants to proactively reduce the number of potential compromise paths before an incident occurs by using a risk-driven approach.
How Forestall Helps:
● Ranks attack paths based on severity, path length, and likelihood of exploitation.● Identifies critical choke points through which the largest number of attack paths pass.● Generates remediation plans that eliminate the greatest number of attack paths with the fewest changes.● Measures attack surface reduction by comparing risk metrics before and after remediation efforts.
Outcome:Security teams can clearly demonstrate reductions in identity attack surface, including fewer attack paths, fewer Shadow Admins, and fewer access routes to Tier-0 and other critical assets.

FAQ

  • A Shadow Admin is an account that has indirect administrative access to Tier-0 assets through delegation chains, nested group memberships, inherited permissions, or other privilege relationships—without being a direct member of privileged groups such as Domain Admins.

    Because these privileges are often hidden within complex identity relationships, Shadow Admins can remain undetected during traditional security audits while still providing attackers with a viable path to privileged access and critical assets.

    Forestall automatically identifies Shadow Admins, maps their access paths, and helps organizations eliminate hidden privilege escalation risks before they can be exploited.

  • Critical chokepoint analysis identifies the identities, permissions, or relationships through which the largest number of potential attack paths pass.

    By remediating or removing a single high-impact chokepoint, organizations can simultaneously eliminate dozens or even hundreds of attack paths, making this one of the most effective approaches to reducing identity-related risk.

    Forestall automatically highlights these critical exposure points and prioritizes remediation actions based on the potential reduction in attack surface, helping security teams achieve the greatest security improvement with the least operational effort.

  • Yes. Forestall includes a flexible query builder that allows security teams to create custom analysis scenarios based on identity objects, relationships, permissions, and access models.

    In addition to custom queries, the platform provides a library of pre-built queries designed for common use cases, including attack path discovery, privilege escalation analysis, Shadow Admin identification, Tier Model validation, and identity risk assessments.

    This combination of built-in and custom queries enables organizations to investigate both standard and highly specialized attack scenarios with ease.

  • Yes. Forestall unifies on-premises and cloud identities into a single access graph, enabling security teams to analyze attack paths across hybrid identity environments.

    The platform maps relationships, permissions, and trust paths between identities, services, and platforms, providing end-to-end visibility into how attackers could move across both on-premises and cloud infrastructures. This allows organizations to identify cross-environment attack paths, privilege escalation opportunities, and critical exposure points from a single view.
