Detect Compromised Credentials Before Attackers Use Them
Automatically discover credentials and secrets exposed in SMB shares, understand who can access them, and identify where sensitive data resides. Use contextual risk analysis, centralized monitoring, and advanced discovery mechanisms to quickly locate and remediate exposed credentials before they can be exploited.
Key Capabilities
● SMB resource analysis● Risk monitoring dashboard● Secret and credential discovery● Flexible data discovery engine
Security-Critical Data Often Hides Where You Least Expect It
Challenge
Credentials and secrets stored in file shares are a frequent target for attackers. Scripts containing passwords, configuration files with embedded credentials, service account details, and documents with stored secrets can create hidden security risks that often remain undetected by traditional scanning tools.
Our Solution
Forestall analyzes SMB resources to identify exposed credentials and secrets, maps who has access to them, and continuously monitors credential exposure risks across the environment. A flexible pattern-matching engine based on regular expressions (Regex) enables organizations to create custom discovery rules for identifying specific data formats and sensitive information.

Key Capabilities
Targeted discovery of exposed credentials and secrets by combining file content analysis with access context for faster remediation and risk reduction.
SMB Resource Analysis
Systematically scan file shares to identify credentials and secrets hidden within scripts, configuration files, and documentation.
● Analyze SMB resources to discover exposed credentials and sensitive information.● Scan scripts, configuration files, and documentation for embedded passwords and secrets.● Detect credentials across multiple file types and formats.● Identify service account credentials, API keys, connection strings, and other sensitive data.● Correlate discovered credentials with access permissions and exposure risks.● Prioritize remediation based on the sensitivity and accessibility of exposed data.
Secret Inventory
Maintain a centralized inventory of all discovered credentials and secrets, classified by type, storage location, and risk level to support efficient remediation and risk management.
● Maintain a centralized repository of discovered secrets, including passwords, API keys, tokens, certificates, and connection strings.● Classify findings by credential type, storage location, exposure level, and associated risk.● Prioritize remediation efforts using contextual risk analysis, including who can access each secret.● Track ownership, exposure status, and remediation progress for discovered credentials.● Quickly identify the most critical secrets based on sensitivity and accessibility.● Gain complete visibility into credential and secret exposure across the environment.
Flexible Discovery Engine
Extend credential and secret discovery beyond predefined patterns with a flexible regular expression (Regex) engine that can be tailored to the unique requirements of your environment.
● Use advanced Regex-based search capabilities to identify sensitive data and credentials.● Detect custom credential formats and secrets not covered by built-in discovery rules.● Create organization-specific discovery templates for passwords, tokens, API keys, and other confidential information.● Adapt discovery rules to proprietary applications, workflows, and data structures.● Improve detection accuracy by targeting the exact patterns relevant to your environment.● Continuously expand discovery coverage as new credential formats and secret types emerge.
Real-World Use Cases
Credential Exposure Analysis After a Security Incident
Scenario:Following a security incident, the incident response team must determine whether attackers could have accessed credentials stored in file shares using a compromised account.
How Forestall Helps:
● Analyzes all file resources accessible to the compromised identity.● Identifies credentials and secrets that may have been exposed to the attacker.● Generates an access matrix showing who can access each discovered secret.● Helps prioritize credential rotation and remediation efforts based on actual exposure risk.
Outcome:Incident responders quickly identify which credentials require immediate rotation and remediation, based not only on the compromise itself but also on the attacker's potential access to additional secrets and sensitive data.
Continuous Credential Exposure Monitoring
Scenario:A security team wants continuous visibility into credential exposure risks within file shares as part of its broader identity and access security program.
How Forestall Helps:
● Continuously scans file resources for newly exposed credentials and secrets.● Tracks risk metrics and remediation progress through a centralized monitoring dashboard.● Alerts teams to newly discovered credential exposures for rapid investigation.● Measures and reports the reduction of exposed credentials over time.
Outcome:Credential exposure risk becomes a measurable and continuously improving security metric rather than a hidden threat that remains undetected until an incident occurs.
FAQ
What Types of Credentials and Secrets Can Forestall Discover?
Forestall includes a built-in discovery engine capable of identifying a wide range of credentials and secrets, including:
● Embedded passwords● Service account credentials● API keys● Authentication tokens● Connection strings● Certificates and certificate-related secrets● Application and configuration file credentials
In addition, Forestall’s flexible Regex-based discovery engine allows organizations to create custom detection patterns for proprietary credential formats, internal applications, and other sensitive data types that are unique to their environment.
This ensures visibility into both common and organization-specific secrets that could otherwise remain hidden within file shares and repositories.Does Scanning Impact File Server Performance?
No. Forestall uses read-only access when analyzing file resources and does not modify files, permissions, or system configurations during scanning.
The scanning process is optimized to minimize impact on storage performance and overall system operations. If required, scans can also be scheduled during designated maintenance windows to align with operational requirements and reduce potential disruption.What Does the Access Matrix Show?
The access matrix provides a clear view of the effective permissions associated with every discovered credential or secret, including:
● Who can access the file.● Which users have access.● Which groups have access.● Whether broad access groups such as Everyone or Authenticated Users can view the data.● The permission level granted to each user or group.● The exposure scope and potential risk associated with the secret.
This visibility helps security teams prioritize remediation efforts based on actual exposure and the potential impact of a credential or secret being compromised.Can custom detection templates be created?
Yes. The advanced search engine based on regular expressions allows you to create custom detection templates for:
● specific account data formats;● internal organizational secrets;● confidential data from proprietary systems;● other types of sensitive information that are not included in the standard set of checks.
