Use Cases → By Role
See who has access to what, why it is risky, and what to fix first across AD and Entra ID, without agents or broad privilege.
Privilege creep through nested groups, delegations, and ACL inheritance goes undetected, stale identities persist for years, and access reviews miss indirect privilege that reaches crown jewels.
Forestall provides privilege assessment and tier analysis per identity, evidence-based reporting for reviews and governance, attack path mapping showing reachability to critical identities, and hygiene assessment for stale and risky objects.
Scenario: A user who changed roles two years ago still holds admin-equivalent access through nested group memberships nobody reviewed.
Problem: Indirect privilege through nesting, delegation, and ACL inheritance goes undetected.
Scenario: A legacy service account with Domain Admin privileges is shared across three applications and has no documented owner.
Problem: Service accounts accumulate excessive rights without clear ownership or review.
Scenario: The organization is implementing a tiered admin model but has no visibility into existing cross-tier access routes.
Problem: Cross-tier access routes bypass intended privilege boundaries.
Scenario: An access review asks whether a help desk account poses risk, but there is no evidence of what it can actually reach.
Problem: Access decisions lack evidence of reachability to crown jewels.
Scenario: Hundreds of disabled-but-not-deleted accounts and orphaned computer objects persist across OUs with no cleanup schedule.
Problem: Stale identities and risky lifecycle patterns accumulate without structured cleanup.
