PRIVILEGE ZONES
Enforce real security boundaries across your identity environments
Prevent lateral movement and privilege escalation by defining and enforcing custom access zones—whether in on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments.
Privilege Zones extend BloodHound Enterprise’s attack path analysis and remediation capabilities beyond the traditional Tier Zero focus, enabling teams to define custom security boundaries and enforce least privilege access across their environment.
THE PROBLEM
You can't defend what you don't control
Most organizations define access policies based on trust assumptions—tiered models, role boundaries, or asset sensitivity. But those assumptions rarely match reality.
There has never been a technical control to enforce these boundaries. It’s all been best
practices, spreadsheets, and intent. So it’s no surprise that environments are full of:
THE SOLUTION
Privilege Zones change that – by making boundaries real and enforceable.
Enforce boundaries
that attackers can’t cross
Privilege Zones give you the power to define logical access boundaries—then enforce them at scale. Whether you’re aligning to Microsoft’s Enterprise Access Model or your own internal segmentation strategy, BloodHound Enterprise makes it real.
Define Zones based on tiers, sensitivity, or business function
Prevent escalation or lateral movement between zones
Finally implement least privilege with a practical technical control
USE CASES
Designed for real environments
— not just aspirational best practice
Whether you utilize a Tiered Administration model or not, use Privileged Zones to shut down attackers.
Enforce privileged access models
Enforce separation between Privileged Access (Tier 0), Management & Data Planes (Tier 1), and User Access (Tier 2)
Separate regulated environments
Shut down attack paths to PCI, HIPAA, and other regulated enclaves
Lock down crown jewel systems
Build high-security zones around sensitive business systems, or VIPs
Built for hybrid environments
In hybrid environments, users often exist in multiple identity systems: On-prem, Cloud, and SaaS platforms like GitHub and Salesforce. And while these accounts may look separate — attackers see the connections.
A single human may have identities that span multiple systems with escalating privileges — from a low-privilege user in on-premises Active Directory, to Intune Admin in Entra ID, to Enterprise Owner in GitHub.
This isn’t just poor hygiene that’s not recommended — it’s a privilege zone violation across systems. But how would you know if you’re violating this and creating Attack Paths?
Privilege Zones detects these hybrid Attack Paths so you can enforce cross-system privilege separation at scale.
GET STARTED
Enforce the boundaries your policies assume
Security frameworks and IAM models are only as strong as their enforcement.
Privilege Zones gives you the first technical control that validates and defends your access model
—on-prem, in the cloud, and everywhere in between.
Enforce the boundaries your policies assume and finally implement Least Privilege.
