Netwrix Threat Prevention

Detect and block identity-based attacks in real time

Identity systems and privileged accounts are a common route for attackers and for insider misuse. Suspicious authentications, risky Active Directory changes and privilege escalation can quickly let adversaries establish persistence and move laterally. Netwrix Threat Prevention detects behaviours associated with credential compromise and privilege abuse, blocks risky actions in real time, and delivers contextual alerts. It captures source‑level event details for clearer investigations and can feed that data into SIEMs and other security tools.

Where Netwrix Threat Prevention is used

Stop unauthorised changes to Tier Zero assets such as privileged groups, domain controllers and GPOs by detecting and blocking risky AD changes before they complete. Detect suspicious authentication patterns and privilege escalation attempts, block attacker persistence techniques, and forward rich event data into a SIEM for investigation and long‑term correlation.

Fits within these solutions

Identity Threat Detection & Response

Insider Threat Detection

Suitable environments

Suited to mid‑market and enterprise organisations that operate on‑premises Active Directory or hybrid estates, especially those with a dedicated IT or security team and regulatory obligations.

Benefits

Faster detection

Source‑level event capture yields richer data for quicker and clearer threat identification.

Prevent damage

Real‑time blocking stops attacks before they cause widespread impact.

Reduce insider risk

Detects and blocks malicious insider activity and risky privilege changes.

Actionable alerts

Contextual notifications provide the detail needed to make immediate response decisions.

Protect Tier Zero

Prevents unauthorised changes to privileged groups, domain controllers and GPOs.

Improved visibility

Consolidates identity and endpoint activity to give clearer oversight and SIEM exports.

Capabilities

Identity threat detection

Monitors identity systems and endpoints to detect behaviours tied to credential compromise and privilege escalation.

Real-time threat blocking

Blocks suspicious activities and risky changes instantly to prevent attack escalation.

Suspicious authentication detection

Identifies risky authentication patterns and unusual user activity that indicate compromise or insider threat.

Contextual alerts

Generates intelligent notifications that explain what was blocked and why to aid response.

Active Directory monitoring

Captures pre‑ and post‑change values and monitors AD changes to detect and stop risky modifications.

SIEM and tool integration

Feeds detailed event data into SIEMs and other security platforms for centralised analysis.

Role‑based access control

Provides RBAC to ensure only authorised personnel access platform capabilities and event data.

Applications

Protect Active Directory

Stop unauthorised AD changes and attacks targeting domain controllers and Group Policy.

Detect privileged abuse

Identify misuse of admin accounts and privilege escalation attempts before they escalate.

Stop authentication attacks

Detect credential compromise and techniques such as DCSync, LSASS or SSP injection attempts.

Hybrid estate monitoring

Monitor identities across on‑premises and cloud components in hybrid environments.

SIEM enrichment

Forward rich event data to SIEMs for correlation, retention and deeper investigation.

Support compliance evidence

Provide audited, contextual event capture to help demonstrate controls for regulatory needs.
