Why start after the perimeter
Modern incidents often involve stolen credentials, exposed tokens, compromised endpoints, or third-party access. An assumed breach test skips the question of whether a foothold is possible and focuses on what happens next.
That makes it especially useful for Active Directory and hybrid identity environments, where lateral movement and privilege paths often determine impact.
Run the assessment locally
Turn identity and network evidence into a report while you test.
Zypheron Desktop keeps scan output, AD and cloud paths, notes, and report views in one local workspace for lean internal teams.
What gets tested
The team may test internal discovery, credential exposure, reachable services, privilege relationships, AD attack paths, segmentation, logging, and detection response. The exact scope should be authorized and tightly documented.
The result should not be a dramatic story. It should be a defensible map of what was reachable, what mattered, what was detected, and what should change.
- Starting identity or host.
- Allowed techniques and prohibited actions.
- Critical assets and stop conditions.
- Evidence requirements and reporting format.
- Retest criteria after remediation.
How Zypheron helps
Assumed breach work creates a lot of context quickly: commands, paths, screenshots, notes, and detection observations. Zypheron keeps those artifacts together so the final report can explain the path without relying on memory.
That matters because the most useful assumed breach finding is one the owner can reproduce and fix.
