Long Summary

Purple Knight is a free Active Directory and Azure AD security assessment tool developed by Semperis to help organizations discover indicators of exposure (IoEs) and indicators of compromise (IoCs) in their hybrid AD environment. It has been downloaded over 10,000 times and can reduce the attack surface by up to 45%. It performs a comprehensive set of tests against the most common and effective attack vectors to find risky configurations and security vulnerabilities. The Purple Knight report provides visibility into the hybrid AD security posture with scores in five categories, plus prescriptive guidance from identity security experts to help prioritize remediation efforts.

Purple Knight users report an average initial security score of 68%, but those who apply the prioritized guidance provided with the assessment can systematically close AD security gaps. It can uncover threats before attackers do, identify and prioritize Active Directory security gaps for remediation, and fix AD and Azure AD security threats that attackers can exploit. It also scans for known vulnerabilities and emerging threats discovered by expert threat researchers, and provides indicators of exposure (IOEs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Users of Purple Knight have praised its ease of use, GUI-based report card, and quick checklist of things to start working on. It has helped organizations take action on items right away, such as shutting down or disabling Active Directory accounts that shouldn’t have been enabled, and develop a long-term maintenance plan. Organizations can use Purple Knight to guard against misconfigurations that can accumulate over time and degrade hybrid AD environment security if left unchecked. Purple Knight is a powerful tool that can help organizations protect their Active Directory and Azure AD environments from malicious actors.

Purple Knight is available for download now, and organizations can explore additional resources to learn more about how it is helping close security gaps in their AD environments.
