About Paramount Defenses
Paramount Defenses sells software for assessing privileged access and security in Microsoft Active Directory. Its products help organisations determine who has what access, where and how, and identify privilege escalation paths. The company says its tools are the only ones that can accurately calculate effective permissions and assess privileged access in Active Directory. It sells to organisations that run Active Directory, including government bodies and large companies, across six continents. The company was founded by a former Microsoft Program Manager for Active Directory Security. Its flagship product, Gold Finger, is endorsed by Microsoft and uses patented access-assessment technology. Gold Finger is a read-only tool that can be installed quickly and does not need administrative access. It performs inventory, permissions and privileged access audits within minutes. Paramount Defenses also offers a simpler version called Gold Finger Mini and a forthcoming product called Gold Finger 007 G.
