The latest enhancements delivered in StealthINTERCEPT 7.0 aim to provide organizations advanced capabilities to thwart attacks against AD and provide progressive password policy and complexity improvements that boost security without causing poor user and administrator experiences.

Among dozens of significant enhancements, StealthINTERCEPT 7.0 can now detect successful and failed Kerberos pre-authentication events in order to provide administrators and security analysts visibility into nefarious activities like password spraying attempts using tools like Kerbrute early in the attack kill chain.

StealthINTERCEPT 7.0 contains a number of significant enhancements focused on strengthening account passwords, headlined by the ability to compare user passwords against the "Have I Been Pwned" database of 550+ million known breached passwords and prevent them from being used at their time of creation.

To further improve passwords and keep attackers from guessing common substitutions, organizations can now control which character replacements are allowed and which are not.

"We've all been hearing for years about alert fatigue and a lack of resources in the cybersecurity space. One of the most beautiful things about StealthINTERCEPT is its ability to help security and even operational teams move beyond the never-ending deluge of alerts and actually prevent attackers, malicious insiders, and even well-intentioned administrators from violating security policy and operational policies in the first place."
