SpecterOps preps its BloodHound Enterprise offering for Azure attack paths

SpecterOps, a Seattle-based cybersecurity company announced that it now supports Azure with its BloodHound Enterprise attack path management offering. Going forward, the company states that customers will be able to spot attack paths in Azure Active Directory in hybrid, cloud-based, or on-prem environments.

"Support for Azure, which is our number-one new request from customers by far, will allow organizations running a hybrid cloud model to easily protect their entire identity infrastructure,” stated David McGuire, CEO at SpecterOps.

BloodHound Enterprise is in use with the University of Texas-Austin, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Capital Group, and Woodside Energy. The product will be generally available in April.

Attackers increasingly target AD systems to impersonate users. Major ransomware gangs like Conti, REvil and DarkSide use this technique to carry out ransomware attacks, SpecterOps stated. Rapid change and growth in AD systems has increased risks.

“Attack Path Management has proven to be wildly successful in helping organizations reduce their exposure to Attack Paths in traditional Active Directory; we’ve seen customers reduce exposure by over 30% in as little as 24 hours after deploying BloodHound Enterprise. But many of our users have a hybrid network, with both on-prem and cloud workloads," said McGuire.
