Featured Solutions Showcase
Explore technologies engineered to address emerging threats:
FSProtect by Forestall is an agentless, on-prem Identity Security Posture Management solution focused on securing Active Directory and Entra ID. It enhances visibility across identity inventories, identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, visualizes attack paths, and automates compliance-related processes. With these capabilities, FSProtect aims to strengthen the resilience of identity systems, proactively mitigating risks.
Guardpot by Priente enhances this capability by deploying advanced deception technologies – including decoy systems, fake credentials, and behavioral traps – to immediately detect and mislead attackers during unauthorized access attempts and lateral movement.
United in Identity Defense
Forestall and Priente share a unified mission: enabling organizations to take control of identity infrastructure before attackers do.
Together, FSProtect and Guardpot offer a comprehensive, multi-layered security architecture. Organizations gain deep visibility into internal identity risks while proactively engaging attackers with high-fidelity deception mechanisms.
This integrated approach ensures early threat detection, efficient attack path elimination, and robust identity ecosystem control.
