Lightning Intelligence tracks security posture across multi-forest Active Directory (AD) and multi-tenant Entra ID environments and provides security trend reports, saving time and reducing the risk of identity-related attacks, which account for 90% of cyber incidents. “Without a clear view into security vulnerabilities across both on-prem AD and Entra ID, organisations struggle to identify risky misconfigurations that can open the door to attackers,” said Darren Mar-Elia, Semperis VP of Products. “These types of attacks that move from cloud to on-premises are increasingly common because they bypass typical monitoring solutions. Lightning Intelligence brings unmatched clarity to overall security posture, delivered in an easy-to-deploy SaaS format for fast onboarding in organisations of any size—from smaller businesses to complex environments with multiple AD forests and Entra ID tenants.” Lightning Intelligence provides easy deployment and automated scanning often requested by small and mid-sized businesses, particularly users of Semperis’ free community tool Purple Knight, which has been downloaded by 30,000+ organisations. Lightning Intelligence, the second offering in Semperis’ new Lightning comprehensive threat detection and response platform, provides clear security posture scores in an easy-to-read dashboard, accelerating remediation especially for resource-constrained IT and security teams in small and medium businesses. With a dashboard that displays both multi-forest AD and multi-tenant Entra ID security posture, Lightning Intelligence also provides seamless visibility across complex identity environments in large organisations. Lightning Intelligence scans the environment and displays security scores for each forest or tenant in a single dashboard, accelerating remediation and reducing potential downtime from an attack by providing: Multi-forest, multi-tenant dashboard with security posture insights and trends across the hybrid AD and Entra ID environments Scheduled and on-demand scanning for indicators of exposure (IOEs) Constantly updated security indicators developed by Semperis’ expert security research team Rapid deployment as a SaaS offering On-demand security posture reports with scores for each forest and tenant Lightning Intelligence is part of the Semperis Lightning platform, which encompasses comprehensive cyber resilience for identity-based security posture, ITDR, change auditing, and forensics. Built for seamless deployment from single-forest environments to the most complex environments, Lightning provides continuous enhancements to help organisations stay ahead of the constantly changing threat landscape. In May, Semperis announced Lightning Identity Runtime Protection , an ML-based attack pattern detection solution that uncovers consistently successful attacks such as password spray. “As the Lightning platform expands, we’ll continue to offer solutions that address the persistent challenges we see in our incident response work with some of the largest organisations in the world,” said Semperis CEO Mickey Bresman. “Cyberattacks that move between the online and on-prem identity systems have been hard to detect and remediate, leading to devastating attacks across every industry. Lightning Intelligence provides a simple way to track overall security posture, with a flexible deployment model as a SaaS or an on-prem offering.
