← Back to Platform Active Directory & On-Prem

Command-line control where the oldest privilege lives.

On-prem infrastructure and Active Directory — the service accounts and machine identities every modern stack still quietly depends on, governed by endpoint agents running on Windows and Linux.

Capabilities

Three sub-capabilities, one decision logic.

Endpoint Discovery

Find the identities your PAM vault never onboarded.

  1. Scan — Endpoint agents identify existing local and service accounts already present on Windows and Linux machines.
  2. Surface — Accounts that were never formally onboarded into any governance tool are brought into view.
  3. Classify — Discovered identities are distinguished by type and privilege level.
Verified

Command Execution Control

Govern what a session can actually do, not just whether it connects.

  1. Intercept — Command-line activity on governed endpoints is controlled at the point of execution.
  2. Permit or deny — Commands are evaluated against policy before they run.
  3. Log — Every controlled action is written to the audit trail.

Legacy Estate Coverage

Bring on-prem and AD under the same engine as everything modern — without an agent in the wrong place.

  1. Deploy — Endpoint agents are installed only on laptops and on-prem machines — never as a roaming or cloud-side component.
  2. Unify — On-prem identity is governed by the same policy engine as cloud, agentic, and privileged access surfaces — not a separate tool.
  3. Maintain — Coverage persists across legacy operating systems still common in on-prem environments.
Verified — boundary stated

Discovery in fully un-instrumented environments where an agent isn't deployed is not covered — that gap is addressed by network-sensor or CNAPP tooling, not Whiteswan directly.

“Whiteswan's ability to discover and manage all existing identities on endpoints has been transformative — the granular approach to access control has significantly reduced our attack surface.”Kamlesh Kumar · MG Contractors Pvt. Ltd
