Spot weaknesses in Active Directory before attackers do with Purple Knight.

→ #1 AD assessment tool → 23,000+ downloads → 150+ security indicators → 45% attack surface reduction

Active Directory (AD) holds the “keys to the kingdom,” and if not safeguarded properly, it will compromise your entire security infrastructure. Purple Knight is a free Active Directory security assessment tool built and managed by an elite group of Microsoft identity experts. 

Active Directory, Azure AD (now called Entra ID), and Okta vulnerabilities can give attackers virtually unrestricted access to your organization’s network and resources. Semperis built Purple Knight—a free AD, Azure AD, and Okta security assessment tool—to help you discover indicators of exposure (IoEs) and indicators of compromise (IoCs) in your hybrid AD environment. Let us help you run Purple Knight and dramatically reduce your AD attack surface today. Questions? info@mobiuspartners.com

Purple Knight provides valuable insight into your AD security posture. It runs as a standalone utility that queries your AD environment and performs a set of tests against many aspects of AD’s security posture, including AD Delegation, Account security, AD Infrastructure security, Group Policy security, and Kerberos security. See full list here. Purple Knight is intended to augment your security team with know-how from a community of security researchers to minimize your attack surface and stay ahead of the ever-changing threat landscape.

“We were able to harden our Active Directory like never before – making sure it’s absolutely secure.” – VP of IT at AMOCO

During internal risk assessments, AMOCO realized they some work to do to secure Active Directory. Möbius Partners helped deploy the Semperis Purple Knight tool to identify vulnerabilities on AD in less than 15 minutes. They worked with AMOCO to remediate the vulnerabilities and introduced Directory Services Protector (DSP) to further protect their AD giving AMOCO peace of mind that everything is secure. Purple Knight is a security vulnerability scanning engine to quickly find all “Indicators of Exposure” & “Indicators of Compromise” within AD.

What’s in the report?

This example report summarizes the Active Directory security assessment results performed by the Semperis Purple Knight tool. The assessment performed includes querying your AD environment and running a series of security indicator scripts against domains in the selected forest. This assessment represents opportunities for enhancing this AD environment from a security perspective in accordance with industry best practices. Click here for a sample Purple Knight report.
