The Layered Defense Approach to AD Security
Semperis and Alchemy develop and implement comprehensive AD cyberattack preparedness and response. Together, we provide expert guidance to protect Active Directory before, during, and after an attack.
Alchemy + Semperis
Semperis is the world’s leading Active Directory cybersecurity expert.
Active Directory is the #1 attack vector in the cybersecurity threat landscape because it’s a lucrative target for cyber criminals. As the primary identity service for 90% of organizations worldwide, AD provides user authentication and access to business-critical applications and services. An AD compromise can cause weeks of downtime. Organizations that don’t adequately protect AD are likely to end up paying ransom to restore data and resume business operations.
Semperis is the pioneer of identity-driven cyber resilience for enterprises. Together with Alchemy, we can offer breach preparedness and response services, combining insights from battle-tested Active Directory (AD) security and incident response (IR) experts with industry-leading solutions for preventing, remediating, and recovering from AD attacks. These services allow you to tap into Semperis’ expertise before, during, and after an attack so that you can benefit from our team’s decades of combined experience responding to cyber incidents.
