Privileged Access & Identity Risk Reviews

Privileged accounts — administrator accounts, service accounts, and other high-permission identities — are among the most targeted assets in any environment. Attackers who gain access to a privileged account can move laterally, escalate privileges, access sensitive data, and establish persistence in ways that are extremely difficult to detect and remediate.

Despite this risk, many organizations have significant gaps in how they manage privileged access. Accounts accumulate permissions over time. Former employees retain access. Service accounts have overly broad rights. Shared credentials are used across multiple systems. These are not theoretical risks — they are the conditions that enable some of the most damaging cyber incidents.

APT Zero's privileged access and identity risk reviews take a structured, evidence-based approach to identifying these gaps. We review your Active Directory or cloud identity environment, map privileged accounts and their permissions, identify accounts that violate least-privilege principles, and assess your processes for managing identity lifecycle and access certification.

Findings from a privileged access review are prioritized by risk and paired with practical remediation guidance. We help your team understand not just what the problems are, but how to fix them in a way that does not disrupt operations.

Privileged access management is not a product — it is a discipline. APT Zero helps organizations build and improve that discipline in a practical, phased way that aligns with their resources and operational constraints.
