Managed identity protection for Active Directory & Entra ID

When attackers go for your identity layer, detection and recovery can’t be an afterthought. Forsyte pairs Semperis — the leader in Active Directory and Entra ID security — with the Guardian 365 team to see the attacks your other tools miss, undo malicious changes automatically, and recover clean if the worst happens.

Active Directory and Entra ID decide who can access what — across every system, application, and user. When that layer is compromised, attackers don’t just get in. They get control.

In most serious cyberattacks, Active Directory isn’t a side target — it’s the objective. Attackers infiltrate the directory, establish persistence, and use it to move laterally and escalate privilege. They often sit undetected for weeks, quietly altering accounts and permissions before they strike. By the time a traditional tool fires an alert, the damage is done.

Forsyte delivers end-to-end identity protection powered by Semperis and operated by the Guardian 365 team — so you can spot identity attacks early, stop them automatically, and recover with confidence.

Why identity is the attack surface

The numbers make the case plainly:

  • Roughly 90% of organizations worldwide rely on Active Directory as their primary identity service — a single point of failure when it’s hit.
  • 9 out of 10 cyberattacks involve Active Directory in some way, according to Mandiant researchers.
  • Most monitoring tools are blind to it. Attackers can make changes that bypass security logs and agents — the kind a SIEM or SOAR simply never sees.

Identity protection isn’t one product. It spans prevention, detection, response, and recovery — and getting any one wrong leaves the door open. That’s exactly the gap the Forsyte and Semperis partnership is built to close.

The combined outcome: Identity attacks are seen earlier, stopped automatically, investigated by experts, and — if the worst happens — recovered clean. That’s end-to-end identity resilience, delivered as a service.

Detect the attacks others miss

Semperis Directory Services Protector (DSP) monitors multiple data sources, including the Active Directory replication stream — the only reliable way to catch every change, no matter how an attacker tries to cover their tracks. Machine-learning detection flags high-signal attacks like password spray, credential stuffing, and brute force, and the Guardian 365 team enriches and triages these signals inside your SOC so nothing critical slips through.

Stop damage automatically

DSP automatically rolls back malicious or risky changes in on-premises AD and Entra ID — including granular rollback to a specific attribute, group, or point in time — faster than human intervention. Guardian 365 sets the guardrails and reviews the actions, so automation works for you, not around you.

Find weaknesses before attackers do

Continuous scanning surfaces hundreds of indicators of exposure and compromise across account security, Group Policy, Kerberos, delegation, and Entra ID — scored and prioritized with clear remediation guidance. Guardian 365 drives that remediation as an ongoing program, not a one-time report.

Recover clean and fast

If an incident escalates to full compromise, Semperis Active Directory Forest Recovery automates the forest recovery process, cuts downtime by 90% or more, and restores a malware-free environment — even if domain controllers are encrypted or wiped. Guardian 365 keeps recovery tested and ready, so it’s a proven path, not a theory.

Protect non-human identities

Service accounts are a favorite target and easy to lose track of. DSP inventories and continuously monitors them with specialized indicators, and Guardian 365 keeps that inventory under active watch.

The Forsyte + Semperis partnership

Forsyte IT Solutions is a Semperis partner with hands-on deployment experience across K–12 schools, universities, and government agencies. We don’t hand you a tool and walk away. We assess your environment, deploy and configure Semperis, integrate it into the Guardian 365 managed service, and operate it alongside your team — so identity protection is something you have, not something you’re still planning to build.

Semperis is also a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, and its solutions complement Microsoft Defender for Identity and Sentinel — a natural fit for the Microsoft-centered environments Forsyte specializes in.

What our engagements include.  

Identity resilience assessment

We evaluate your Active Directory and Entra ID environment — its size, complexity, exposures, and recovery readiness — using tools like a Purple Knight security assessment to give you a clear, prioritized picture of identity risk today.

Semperis deployment and integration

We deploy and configure Directory Services Protector and Active Directory Forest Recovery, establish clean-room recovery processes and runbooks, and integrate detection signals into the Guardian 365 SOC and Microsoft Sentinel.

Guardian 365 managed protection

Our security team provides continuous monitoring, alert triage, investigation, auto-remediation oversight, and incident response — with regular reporting on your identity security posture and how it’s improving.

Ongoing recovery testing

Recovery capability that hasn’t been tested can’t be counted on. We run regular recovery exercises so your recovery time objectives are validated, not theoretical.

Who is this for

Our identity protection service is built for organizations where Active Directory and Entra ID are central to daily operations — and where internal teams don’t have the bandwidth or specialized identity-security expertise to do this alone. We work extensively with:

  • K–12 school districts and regional education agencies managing identity for thousands of students, staff, and devices.
  • Colleges and universities with complex, multi-domain AD forests and hybrid infrastructure.
  • State and local government agencies operating under strict uptime requirements with limited internal security resources.

If your organization depends on Active Directory and Entra ID — and most do — the question isn’t whether identity protection matters. It’s whether you’d see an attack in time, and whether you could recover from it.
