Every breach runs through an identity.
We find and close the paths attackers use to reach domain admins, service accounts, and the people who hold the keys. Privileged access, Active Directory, and single sign-on, engineered by people who run these systems every day.

Seven ways to reach Tier 0. Select an identity to see how it gets there.
Seven standing paths lead to the domain controllers. We replace them with one vaulted, just-in-time path that is approved, recorded, and expires on its own.
Privileged access
- PAM deployment and rescue
- CyberArk vaults, safes, and platforms designed, rolled out, or straightened out after a stalled project.
- Endpoint privilege
- Remove local admin rights without breaking the apps people need to do their jobs.
Identity and sign-in
- SSO and federation
- SAML and OIDC integrations, from a single app to a full portfolio.
- Phishing-resistant MFA and self-service reset
- Stronger sign-in that cuts help desk calls instead of adding to them.
Active Directory
- Tiering and delegation
- Least-privilege delegation and just-in-time admin access, including multi-forest environments.
- Identity resilience
- A tested plan to recover AD fast when ransomware takes it down.
Inside a governed admin session
This is what privileged work looks like after we're done: approved, time-boxed, recorded, and stopped when it crosses a line.

Built by practitioners
CyberGaud was founded by an identity engineer who manages privileged access, directory services, and SSO in a large enterprise. Every recommendation we make is something we've deployed, supported, and been paged for.
Most environments don't need more security tools. They need fewer people with standing admin rights, and a vault that actually gets used.
