Security Guardian

Security Guardian enhances CrowdStrike Falcon AD by providing additional specialized features for your Active Directory environment. It alerts on specific attacker tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) within Active Directory, ensuring comprehensive threat detection. Security Guardian enforces adherence to Privilege Account Management policies by hindering implicit relationships, particularly concerning Tier 0 objects. It automatically categorizes these critical objects and monitors any drifts from their known state. Additionally, Security Guardian proactively identifies, alerts on, and protects against Active Directory misconfigurations, such as Group Policy Object (GPO) setting changes and database attacks (.DIT). It also retains findings and audit data in compliance with retention requirements, ensuring thorough and compliant security management.

Change Auditor and On Demand Audit provide enriched event data from Active Directory and offer Active Directory and Group Policy protection capabilities. Security Guardian enhances these features by capturing Active Directory object state and misconfiguration data in addition to Change Auditor event data. It automates the protection capabilities of Tier 0 objects, ensuring a more comprehensive security approach. Moreover, Security Guardian integrates seamlessly with Change Auditor and On Demand Audit. It allows for the direct invoking of Tier 0 protection templates available in Change Auditor and ensures that relevant events and anomalies are sent from On Demand Audit to Security Guardian, creating a robust and integrated security framework.

SpecterOps BloodHound Enterprise provides Active Directory Tier 0 identification and attack path management. Security Guardian enhances these capabilities by highlighting drifts in Tier 0 objects' known-state, allowing for immediate governance actions to certify or revert changes. It enforces adherence to Privilege Account Management policies by hindering implicit relationships on Tier 0 objects. Security Guardian also collects attack surface configurations on domain controllers, such as the print spooler service, and can immediately disrupt certain Active Directory-based attack paths, like changes in ownership of Tier 0 objects and .DIT attacks. Furthermore, Security Guardian integrates seamlessly with SpecterOps BloodHound Enterprise by utilizing it as a Tier 0 provider. SpecterOps BloodHound Enterprise Tier 0 impact values are surfaced directly on the Security Guardian interface, creating a cohesive and powerful security solution.

Yes! SIEM solutions, like Sentinel and Splunk, aggregate tremendous amounts of signals from various sources to provide comprehensive security monitoring. Security Guardian enhances these solutions by being specifically built for Active Directory. It scans and surfaces identity misconfigurations and exposures related to Active Directory and Tier 0 objects. Security Guardian integrates seamlessly with SIEM tools through direct forwarding of findings via standard APIs, ensuring that all relevant data is included in your SIEM for a more robust and targeted security posture.

Security Guardian leverages Azure AI and Machine Learning to enhance Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID security by automatically analyzing patterns of activity and identifying anomalies that could indicate security risks. Machine Learning models help the solution establish baselines for normal AD and Entra ID behavior, allowing it to detect deviations, such as unusual sign-in failures or permission changes, more accurately. This reduces false positives, surfaces critical vulnerabilities, and ensures that your environment remains secure by prioritizing the most exploitable vulnerabilities. These AI-driven insights into abnormal behavior improve the speed and efficiency of threat detection, helping you stay ahead of potential attacks.

Quest Security Guardian enhances your Active Directory (AD) security by providing specialized features that complement Microsoft Copilot for Security. Quest Security Guardian excels at detecting and alerting on specific attacker tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) within AD, ensuring comprehensive threat detection. It automatically categorizes and tracks Tier 0 objects to prevent unauthorized changes, and proactively identifies and protects against AD misconfigurations, such as Group Policy Object (GPO) changes and database attacks (.DIT). By integrating with Microsoft Security Copilot, these capabilities are enhanced with AI-driven insights and guided remediation, providing a comprehensive and proactive defense for your hybrid AD environment.

At Quest, your privacy is our priority. When leveraging Azure AI and Machine Learning within Security Guardian, we ensure that your data remains secure and private. The data used for AI-driven insights is processed within your own environment, and we do not share your data with third parties. Furthermore, we do not use or access anyone else's data to enhance or train our Machine Learning models—only your data is used to provide relevant insights for your security needs.
