Manage
Local Accounts.

Local accounts are often excluded from lifecycle policies because they can be easily created by endpoint administrators. Hydden uncovers these unmanaged accounts before they become vectors for lateral movement.

    Foundational issue

    Problem

    Efficiently tracking local accounts across thousands of endpoints is a massive visibility gap for traditional tools.

Extending Governance to
Every Endpoint.

Hydden discovers every local account across your endpoint infrastructure and connects them to your IAM, PAM, and IGA programs for continuous governance.

  • Total Endpoint Discovery

    Hydden maps every local account across Windows, macOS, Linux, and server infrastructure using network and agent-based scanning, with no manual inventory required.

  • Automated Identity Mapping

    Every discovered local account is resolved to a real owner using flexible mapping rules that handle legacy naming conventions, non-standard fields, and system-specific formats. Orphaned or unmanaged accounts that fall outside IAM and PAM are surfaced immediately.

  • Policy Bypass Detection

    Hydden flags accounts created outside your governance workflows: accounts not enrolled in PAM, missing from IGA campaigns, or elevated without authorization.

    • Event-Driven Enforcement

      Automated agents trigger on account creation, privilege changes, and credential events, enabling real-time response without manual intervention.

    • Continuous Posture Scoring

      Hydden scores every local account against your security baseline. Stale credentials, missing MFA, and excessive privileges are tracked, reported, and remediated automatically.

Action-driven policy enforcement

Detect Accounts that Bypassed Policies

Proactively surface ungoverned local users that are not managed by IAM, PAM, ITDR and IGA systems. Automatically take action to close the security gap.

Event-driven automation agents

Continuous Account Monitoring

Continuously detect new local accounts and their access right changes. Deploy automated agents that respond to events in real-time.

Real-time posture scoring

Local Account Posture Management

Eliminate poor posture by detecting stale passwords, compromised credentials, and identities not enrolled in MFA. Score indicators into risk profiles.
