Detecting Shadow Access: Uncover Local Accounts Bypassing Central Authentication

Shadow access where users authenticate through local accounts instead of centrally governed credentials is one of the hardest risks to detect. It leaves identity teams blind to who is really accessing critical assets and how.

Authmind brings full visibility to every identity accessing your environment, making it possible to instantly spot when someone is bypassing domain authentication and operating through an unmanaged local account.

In this demo, see how Authmind flags a user accessing an RDP service without domain credentials identifying the individual through network activity triangulation, surfacing the exact access path that enabled the shadow access, and providing all the evidence needed to investigate and act.

Whether the account turns out to be unauthorized or simply unmanaged, Authmind gives identity teams the confidence to quickly validate, remediate, or bring it under central governance.
