FAQ

While Microsoft Defender for Identity (MDI) provides robust security, Security Guardian offers additional specialized features that enhance Active Directory security and protection for your environment. Security Guardian alerts on specific attacker tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) within AD and Entra ID, ensuring comprehensive threat detection. It enforces adherence to Privilege Account Management policies by hindering implicit relationships, especially concerning Tier 0 objects. Security Guardian automatically categorizes these critical objects and monitors any drifts from their known state. Furthermore, Security Guardian proactively identifies, alerts on, and protects critical objects (including GPOs) from setting changes and database attacks. It also retains findings and audit data in compliance with retention requirements, ensuring thorough and compliant security management.

Security Guardian enhances CrowdStrike Falcon AD by providing additional specialized features for your Active Directory environment. It alerts on specific attacker tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) within Active Directory and Entra ID, ensuring comprehensive threat detection. Security Guardian enforces adherence to Privilege Account Management policies by hindering implicit relationships, particularly concerning Tier 0 objects. It automatically categorizes these critical objects and monitors any drifts from their known state. Additionally, Security Guardian proactively identifies, alerts on, and protects against misconfigurations, such as Group Policy Object (GPO) setting changes and database attacks (.DIT). It also retains findings and audit data in compliance with retention requirements, ensuring thorough and compliant security management.

Yes! SIEM solutions, like Sentinel and Splunk, aggregate tremendous amounts of signals from various sources to provide comprehensive security monitoring. Security Guardian enhances these solutions by being specifically built for AD and Entra ID. It scans and surfaces identity misconfigurations and exposures related to Tier 0 objects. Security Guardian integrates seamlessly with SIEM tools through direct forwarding of findings via standard APIs, ensuring that all relevant data is included in your SIEM for a more robust and targeted security posture.

Security Guardian’s workload identity audit and detection provides visibility into service principals and other non-human accounts in AD and Entra ID. It identifies over-privileged or exposed accounts and provides actionable remediation guidance to prevent compromise before threats escalate.
