Semperis, a pioneer in AI-powered identity security and cyber resilience, announced Service Account Protection Essential, a new edition of Directory Services Protector (DSP) that provides unmatched visibility, monitoring, and alerting for Active Directory service accounts, a prime target for cyber attackers.

"Service accounts are pernicious and nearly ungovernable by nature, so organisations struggle to adequately address them in security planning," said Ran Harel, Semperis AVP of Security Products, adding "Think about how many applications are onboarded and retired over the course of an Active Directory's lifespan. Each one of these applications may have several service accounts that connect them to AD."
