UNLOCKED of tests against the most common and effective attack vectors .
Purple Knight detects risky configurations and vulnerabilities , generates a security posture report across five categories , and provides recommendations for prioritising remediation actions . The tool checks for more than 130 IOEs and IOCs and returns a security score that enables an organisation to assess its security status , considering possible threats . The average score for first-time Purple Knight users is 68 %, a value that always gives reason to deal more intensively with the topic .
“ After Purple Knight ’ s analysis , we set out to improve our own status quo ,” Schulz explained . “ Because if a cyberattacker actually got to our Active Directory , we would have to rebuild everything . So , to optimise our security , we started looking for the reasons for the vulnerabilities and what was actually missing .”
In the spotlight : Threat detection and AD recovery
Two areas proved especially critical for the company : detection and response to current threats , and rapid recovery of Active Directory in the event of an actual compromise . Yamaha Europe decided to implement two solutions from Active Directory specialist Semperis : Directory Services Protector and Active Directory Forest Recovery .
“ We ’ re not huge ,” said Schulz , explaining Yamaha Music Europe ’ s decision to work with Semperis . “ For us , it was important to find a solution that fits and a partner who guarantees fast support .”
When the time came to deploy the solutions , installation took just one day , utilising previously submitted server specifications .
It was important to find a solution that fits and a partner who guarantees fast support .
