SpecterOps Unveils BloodHound Scentry, Expanding Identity APM

SpecterOps, the pioneer behind identity Attack Path Management (APM), has introduced BloodHound Scentry, a new service designed to help customers accelerate their APM practice and reduce identity risk. 

Protecting an organization’s critical assets

According to the company, BloodHound Scentry combines the capabilities of BloodHound Enterprise with the tradecraft of SpecterOps experts to provide tailored guidance for attack path remediation, advanced analysis of emerging threats, and privilege zone design to protect critical assets. 

“The risks associated with identity security continue to grow with each new provider and technology adopted, creating unseen critical risks that can only be resolved through identity APM efforts,” said Robby Winchester, chief services officer at SpecterOps.

“For companies wanting a shortcut to gain identity APM expertise and resources, BloodHound Scentry can accelerate an identity APM program to better identify and protect an organization’s most critical assets,” Winchester added.

SpecterOps promises significant maturity jumps in as little as six months

SpecterOps says that BloodHound Scentry enables organizations with little or no identity APM to build and scale their practice from Level 0 to Level 3 maturity (or higher) in as little as six months, strengthening security posture and reducing risk.

Below are some of Scentry’s key features:

• Attack Path Remediation: Scentry experts assess your environment, identify priority actions and high‑value targets, and deliver remediation guidance specific to your identity model.
• Expert Analysis: Monthly analysis of attack paths and trends, sharing of findings and recommended actions, along with investigation of emerging threats when your industry faces elevated risk.
• Privilege Zone Design: Create privilege zones around your most critical assets. After which, identify and prioritize these assets, configure effective privilege zones, and track ongoing governance and certification.
• BloodHound OpenGraph Support: BloodHound OpenGraph expands attack path coverage across any platform, repository, or application. Scentry experts help you design and build OpenGraph extensions that meet your coverage needs, including custom applications.
• Customized Reporting: Tailored reporting that tracks the progress of your identity APM practice, including hygiene reports and quarterly executive packages.

BloodHound Enterprise added to Cisco Marketplace

Alongside the launch of Scentry, SpecterOps recently announced that BloodHound Enterprise will be available through the Cisco SolutionsPlus Marketplace, complementing Cisco’s Identity Intelligence solution with its proactive APM approach.

The partnership gives Cisco Duo customers access to BloodHound Enterprise’s capabilities, which SpecterOps says can help teams surface identity security gaps, such as scenarios where an attacker leverages an overprivileged account to reach a domain controller.

According to the company, Cisco customers who purchase BloodHound can also address risky technical debt across Active Directory and Azure environments.

BloodHound deploys data collectors to gather identity and access telemetry. This data is then analyzed and visualized as graphs within the platform, helping Cisco users identify which assets are most at risk and the steps to eliminate critical attack paths.
