What is Privileged Account Discovery?

Privileged Account Discovery is a crucial process for identifying, categorizing, and managing privileged accounts and credentials across an organization’s IT infrastructure. It helps uncover hidden or unmanaged accounts, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, overprivileged accounts, and backdoor vulnerabilities.

A privileged account discovery tool automates this process, providing real-time visibility into critical accounts and enabling organizations to enforce strict access controls. As the first step in a Privileged Access Management (PAM) strategy, it strengthens security posture, protects sensitive data, and ensures compliance with security policies.

Types of Privileged Accounts & Credentials Discovered

User & Administrative Accounts

These accounts represent individuals in the network and include both standard users and privileged administrators. User accounts handle daily access to systems and applications, while administrative accounts (e.g., Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins) have elevated privileges for managing Active Directory and critical IT operations.

Computer Accounts

Created for each computer that joins the Active Directory (AD) domain. These accounts ensure secure communication between devices and help manage computer resources within the network.

Group Accounts

Collections of user and computer accounts, simplifying permissions and access control. Group accounts allow centralized management of common access rights for multiple users or systems.

Service Accounts

Specialized accounts are used to run background services and processes. These accounts isolate permissions for services, ensuring security and minimizing potential vulnerabilities.

Organizational Units (OUs)

Containers within Active Directory that hold user accounts, group accounts, computer accounts, and other OUs. OUs organize and streamline the management of directory objects.

Privileged Credentials

Privileged credentials include authentication secrets such as SSH keys, API keys, certificates, passwords, and access tokens used by users, services, and applications. Identifying unmanaged, exposed, or misconfigured credentials helps prevent unauthorized access, eliminates blind spots, and strengthens your overall security posture.
