Forestall · Identity Security Posture Management

See every identity risk — before an attacker maps it first.

Forestall is an agentless ISPM & Identity Visibility platform. Discover exposures, map privilege-escalation paths and reduce risk across human, service and non-human identities — no Domain Admin, no endpoint agents.

Identity is the #1 attack surface

Attackers don't break in. They log in.

Stolen credentials, over-privileged accounts and unmapped trust relationships are the modern breach. Most teams simply can't see the identity plane they're defending.

From day one

Turn unknown identity risk into mapped, measurable posture.

One agentless platform surfaces exposures, attack paths, exposed credentials and compliance gaps — and tells you what to fix first.

Full identity-plane visibility

A unified view of identities, privileges, relationships and configuration drift across hybrid AD, Entra ID and Microsoft 365.

Prioritized risks & misconfigs

Stop chasing noise. Highlight the exposures most likely to be exploited and the changes that reduce risk the fastest.

Hidden attack paths & choke points

See how a compromise spreads, where privileges escalate, and which single control breaks the highest-impact paths.

Compliance scoring & guidance

Track posture against common standards and regional regulations, with audit-ready evidence and practical remediation.

Exposed credentials in shared files

Detect risky secrets and credentials hiding in shared storage, SYSVOL and sessions — and shrink the blast radius.

Automated reports

Export executive summaries and technical deep-dives on a schedule for continuous improvement and operational hygiene.

Integrate · Analyze · Act · Iterate

Read-only by design. Value in days, not quarters.

Connect to your identity systems with a low-friction, read-only setup — no agents to deploy, no elevated privileges to grant. Forestall maps your environment and turns findings into fix-first tasks.

The platform

Six solutions on one identity posture engine.

From mapping your attack surface to automating audit-ready reports — every module shares the same agentless, read-only data layer.

SOLUTION 01

Identity Attack Surface Management

Continuously map identities, services, privileges and trust relationships across multi-forest and hybrid environments — see what attackers see.

Exposure inventoryHotspot prioritization
SOLUTION 02

Identity Risk Assessment

Prioritize identity risk by likelihood, impact and business context, then route ownership so the right team fixes the right exposure.

Risk scoringOwnership routing
SOLUTION 03

Attack Path Management

Visualize and break high-impact attack paths across identity systems. Find the choke points that collapse the most risk with the fewest fixes.

Path analysisChoke-point fixes
SOLUTION 04

Compliance

Translate posture findings into audit-ready evidence and workflows, mapped to control intent across global and regional frameworks.

Evidence packsControl posture
SOLUTION 05

Credential Discovery

Find credential exposures in shared files, scripts and sessions, and reduce exploitation opportunities with fix-first output lists.

Exposure detectionFix-first lists
SOLUTION 06

Reporting Automation

Automate recurring identity posture reports for technical and executive stakeholders — scheduled runs, stakeholder-ready exports.

New · Agentic AI Security

Your AI agents are identities too.

Every AI agent accepts untrusted input, wields real-world tools and acts on behalf of users — multiplying your identity attack surface across ten new layers. Forestall maps all of them in the same graph as your users and service accounts.

Inputs Tools Identity Delegation Trust Data Memory Model Output Ops AI AGENT non-human identity
Scanning agent attack surface…

How Forestall maps the agent attack surface

The AI agent attack surface is every input, tool, identity and trust relationship an attacker can touch — far broader than a traditional app. Forestall brings agents into the same continuous identity graph as your users and service accounts.

Discover every agent & non-human identity

Humans, service accounts and AI agents inventoried in one place — no agent goes unmapped.

Map permissions, tools & data scopes

See exactly which tools and data each agent can reach — and where scopes are too broad.

Trace delegation chains & OBO tokens

Keep on-behalf-of scopes bounded and eliminate domain-wide or confused-deputy delegation.

Surface cross-agent & cross-tenant trust

Catch multi-agent cascade and tenant-bleed paths before a single compromise propagates.

Integrate audit logs for anomaly detection

Flag behavioral drift, poisoned memory and out-of-policy actions across the agent fleet.

Risk-rank surface-reduction opportunities

Reduce the surface before mitigating — fix the highest-leverage agent exposures first.

Novel attack classes Forestall helps you map

Made for every team & threat

Use cases by customer segment.

Switch between defender roles and the threats they face — Forestall reframes the same identity graph for each audience.

Usage in the field

Where teams put Forestall to work.

Read-only deployment makes Forestall safe to point at production, M&A targets and live incidents alike.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Identity due diligence

Deploy read-only connectors to a target environment without admin access, then generate a full identity, privilege and trust inventory within hours — before any integration begins.

Full visibility into inherited identity risk before integration work starts.

Incident Response

SOC identity inventory

Give analysts an always-current identity map with privilege context — which accounts hold admin access, how compromised objects connect to critical assets, and where session-based credentials are exposed.

Investigation time drops with a pre-built map of relevant accounts and paths.

Cloud Migration

Hybrid migration planning

Map every identity object, trust relationship and service dependency, classify privilege tiers for priority migration, and clean up stale or orphaned accounts before moving to a hybrid model.

Migrations start from a clean, well-documented identity inventory.

Continuous Hygiene

Ongoing identity monitoring

Run continuous discovery to catch new identity objects, privilege-tier changes and local-admin additions, with trend data showing whether posture is improving or degrading over time.

Shift from periodic audits to catching exposures as they emerge.

A balanced view

Strengths & considerations.

An honest read on where Forestall excels — and where it fits alongside the rest of your identity stack.

Strengths

  • +Agentless & read-only. Connect in ~1 hour, full visibility in <24h — nothing to install on endpoints or domain controllers.
  • +No Domain Admin needed. Least-privilege integration is safe to point at production environments.
  • +Unified human + NHI view. Service accounts and non-human / agent identities mapped alongside users.
  • +Attack-path & choke-point analysis. Fix the highest-leverage issues first instead of chasing noise.
  • +Broad & regional compliance. ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, CIS, STIG plus NCA ECC, SAMA and UAE IAR.

Considerations

  • !Microsoft-centric coverage today. Deepest on AD, Entra ID and M365; other IdPs are expanding over time.
  • !Posture, not enforcement. Complements — doesn't replace — IGA, PAM and real-time EDR/ITDR detection.
  • !Guidance-driven remediation. Findings come with fix-first steps, but changes are applied by your team.
  • !Newer vendor. A smaller install base than long-standing incumbents — evaluate with a scoped pilot.
Broad compliance support

Audit-ready evidence, mapped to control intent.

For each supported framework you get a tailored identity-risk report highlighting relevant exposures, priorities and remediation guidance.

From the people who defend identity

Visibility teams wish they'd had years ago.

★★★★★

"We connected read-only and within a day had a map of every privilege path to Domain Admin we'd been missing for years. No agents, no change-management fight."

CISO · Financial Services
★★★★★

"The attack-path view told us exactly which three fixes collapsed most of our risk. That's gold for an offensive report — and for the blue team that has to remediate it."

Lead Consultant · Offensive Security
★★★★★

"Service accounts and stale privilege had quietly sprawled for a decade. Forestall surfaced the orphaned objects and non-expiring passwords we never knew existed."
