Semperis

Your company’s Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID environments are under attack by malicious threat actors intent on exploiting your core identity and access management (IAM) system. AD and Entra ID are essential for securely handling the four pillars of IAM: authentication, authorization, account management, and account auditing. Threat actors can exploit compromised credentials to gain access to your infrastructure, leading to data breaches and ransomware attacks. Semperis addresses the security risks posed by attacks on your AD environment, protecting the ever-increasing attack surface modern businesses must defend.

Semperis is a comprehensive, AI-powered defense solution for AD and Entra ID. Semperis modernizes your AD environment and provides lifecycle defense before, during, and after an identity-based attack. The solution includes expert Identity Forensics and Incident Response (IFIR) services from Semperis’ team of Microsoft MVPs and former Microsoft Premier Field Engineers (PFEs) to rapidly contain threats, conduct forensic investigations, and enable secure recovery, minimizing downtime and preventing reinfection.

VAST has partnered with Semperis to offer our customers superior protection for their AD and Entra ID environments through our expert managed services. When you engage VAST’s services, you gain the support of a trusted partner to help you implement Semperis, interpret its results, and optimize the protection of your AD environment with this multifaceted and unified identity resilience solution.

Semperis Directory Services Protector (DSP)

The Directory Services Protector provides comprehensive hybrid AD threat detection and response. DSP continuously monitors your AD environment and automatically rolls back malicious changes. The tool minimizes the attack surface, identifies advanced exploits that can seriously disrupt your business, and provides a unified view of your AD and Entra ID security posture. DSP is the first line of defense supplied by the Semperis solution.

Semperis Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR)

ADFR is Semperis’s flagship product, focused on fast and effective recovery of an AD environment after an attack. The tool reduces AD recovery time after an attack by up to 90%. A simple five-click, multi-forest recovery process restores AD to a known, secure state, preventing the reintroduction of malware. ADFR’s advanced features include post-recovery identity scans to verify trust, post-breach forensics to avoid follow-up attacks, and expert guidance to close security gaps. If an attack occurs, ADFR will get you up and running quickly while mitigating the risks of future attacks.

Purple Knight

Purple Knight is a free, community-driven Active Directory security assessment tool that helps companies discover indicators of exposure (IoEs) and indicators of compromise (IoCs) in hybrid AD environments. VAST provides assistance with running the assessment, collecting data, and interpreting the results, allowing your company to significantly reduce its attack surface by identifying weaknesses before threat actors can exploit them. Companies using Purple Knight gain invaluable insights into their AD environment, enabling them to implement stronger security measures proactively.
