Insider incidents escalate when privilege is excessive, indirect, or unmanaged. Forestall helps you find hidden power, prove reachability, and prioritize cleanup.
Insider incidents escalate because access reviews miss indirect privilege from nesting and ACL inheritance, stale accounts remain exploitable, and proving who can actually reach crown jewels is nearly impossible.
Forestall identifies hidden privilege and Shadow Admins, quantifies reachability to critical identities using attack path analysis, prioritizes cleanup by blast radius and chokepoints, and produces governance-ready reporting packs.
Scenario: A departing employee still has admin-equivalent access through three levels of nested group membership that was never cleaned up.
Problem: Indirect privilege through groups, ACL inheritance, and delegation goes undetected in reviews.
Scenario: A contractor account has write access to a GPO linked to Domain Controllers, effectively granting domain-wide control outside formal roles.
Problem: Stealth administrative capabilities not reflected in formal roles enable quiet abuse.
Scenario: A terminated employee's account was disabled but not deleted; it retains group memberships that grant access to finance systems.
Problem: Dormant identities retain access and can be exploited without triggering alerts.
Scenario: An alerting tool flags suspicious activity but the analyst needs to understand the account's full privilege scope and relationships quickly.
Problem: Identity context is scattered across tools, slowing investigation response.
