Secrets Catcher is an AI-powered cybersecurity tool designed to protect companies from the threat of exposed credentials in network shares.

It automatically scans files for improperly stored passwords, assigns a risk score through AI analysis, and guides the remediation process.

This solution is ideal for companies aiming to prevent privilege escalation and proactively protect Active Directory and the entire infrastructure from attacks based on the reuse of compromised credentials. It is an indispensable tool for Compliance and Audit according to ISO 27001 and NIS2 regulations.

Fragility and compromises

The attack scenario

When an attacker succeeds in compromising a single corporate endpoint, one of the first activities they perform is searching for credentials stored locally or in accessible network shares. This process typically follows these steps:

1

Initial Access

- Compromise of a single workstation
- Gaining local user privileges
2

Reconnaissance

- Scanning local directories
- Accessing mapped network shares
- Searching for files containing potential credentials (e.g., "pass.txt," "credentials.doc," "access.xls")
3

Escalation

- Using discovered credentials to access other systems
- Lateral movement within the network
- Potential compromise of the entire domain
