Right now,
on your network.

If lateral movement via RDP happened on your systems right now, could you see it?

If a user was added to the Domain Admins group last Tuesday, would you know?

If someone disabled Defender on a workstation this morning, could you tell who did it?

If Kerberoasting was used to harvest service account credentials overnight, would it show up anywhere?

If your security event logs were cleared five minutes ago, would the evidence survive?

If a new service was installed on a domain controller at 3 AM, would anyone notice?

With Arden, the answer is yes — to all of them.

One portable executable. Full kill chain visibility across every phase of MITRE ATT&CK. Lightweight, zero-dependency, and built to give you complete insight into what is happening in your Windows environment. No SIEM. No cloud. Just answers.

Kill Chain Coverage

Every phase. Every technique that matters.

Arden doesn't just detect isolated events — it covers the full attack lifecycle. From the first credential harvesting attempt to ransomware's final act, every common attack vector is mapped and monitored.

Discovery

Admin group enumeration, network share discovery, sensitive group membership queries, directory service access

Execution

PowerShell obfuscation, encoded commands, suspicious process chains, WMIC execution, script interpreter abuse

Persistence

Scheduled tasks, new services, registry run keys, account creation, group membership changes, startup modifications

Privilege Escalation

Suspicious service installs, special privilege assignment, token manipulation, named pipe impersonation

Defense Evasion

AV/EDR disabling, firewall tampering, log clearing, timestomping, audit policy modification, AMSI bypass

Credential Access

Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, DCSync, NTDS.dit extraction, LSASS access, credential dumping, DPAPI abuse

Lateral Movement

Pass-the-Hash, RDP pivoting, WMIC/DCOM, PsExec, remote service creation, explicit credential logon from remote IPs

Impact

Shadow copy deletion, recovery disabling, ransomware precursor command patterns

Intelligent Filtering

Coverage without the noise.

Full kill chain coverage doesn't mean a flood of alerts. Arden's engine understands normal Windows behavior — virtual service accounts, boot-time drivers, OEM updates, auth brokers — and filters it automatically. You see only what needs attention.

Built-In Resilience

The features that matter when it counts.

Attackers don't just compromise systems — they cover their tracks. Arden is built to survive the tactics designed to blind your investigation.

Emergency Log Preservation

When Arden detects event log clearing, it automatically exports all alerts, events, analysis data, and suppression records to an emergency file on disk. The attacker can wipe the logs — your evidence is already saved. The dashboard shows a real-time warning banner the moment it happens.

Actor Attribution

For critical detections like Defender being disabled or firewall rules being modified, Arden traces the action back to the specific user account — even when Windows doesn't log it in the standard fields. You see who did it, not just that it happened.

Smart Alert Aggregation

57 RDP connections to the same server become one enriched alert card with time ranges, event counts, and a drill-down to every individual event. Arden collapses the noise without discarding the forensic detail.

Zero Infrastructure

No SIEM. No cloud. No agents to deploy. Arden runs as a single portable executable that reads your existing Windows event logs directly. Deploy in under 60 seconds on any Windows machine.

Virtual Account Intelligence

Windows logs GUIDs, SIDs, machine accounts, and service identities as "users." Arden recognizes 12+ categories of non-human identities and suppresses them across every detection — no manual tuning required.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapped

Every detection is mapped to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques, enriched with contextual analysis, and scored by severity. You get actionable intelligence, not raw event data.

Detection Highlights

What Arden catches — with precision.

A sample of the attack techniques Arden detects out of the box. Every detection is tuned based on real-world attack patterns and tested against legitimate Windows activity to minimize false positives.

Defender / AV Disabled

Detects real-time protection being turned off via PowerShell, service control, registry modification, or Group Policy — and attributes the action to the specific user account that did it.

Remote Lateral Movement

Flags explicit credential authentication from remote IPs via WMIC, DCOM, PsExec, and similar tools. Aggregated per-source so you see the full scope of the pivot, not dozens of identical alerts.

T1021 · Lateral Movement

Kerberoasting & AS-REP Roasting

Detects TGS requests with RC4 encryption — the weak cipher attackers request to crack offline. Handles all Windows log format variations: hex, padded hex, decimal, and named ciphers.

T1558 · Credential Access

Pass-the-Hash via NTLM

Identifies network logons using NTLM authentication — a hallmark of pass-the-hash attacks. Automatically excludes machine accounts and service identities that legitimately use NTLM.

T1550.002 · Lateral Movement

PowerShell Deep Inspection

Searches all three PowerShell logging sources for obfuscation patterns, encoded commands, AMSI bypass attempts, and credential harvesting scripts. Covers ScriptBlock, Module, and Operational logs.

T1059.001 · Execution

DCSync & NTDS.dit Access

Catches the two primary methods for extracting every password hash from Active Directory. Machine accounts performing expected replication are automatically excluded.

T1003.006 · Credential Access

Shadow Copy Deletion

Detects the commands ransomware uses to prevent recovery: volume shadow deletion, backup catalog wiping, and recovery mode disabling. Always CRITICAL severity.

T1490 · Impact

Anti-Forensics Detection

Security log clearing, audit policy modification, timestomping, and trace removal commands. Identifies the user who performed the action and triggers emergency log preservation automatically.

Dashboard Intelligence

Aggregation with drill-down.

When Arden aggregates alerts, it preserves every original event. Click “View Individual Alerts” to see each one with its timestamp, Event ID, source IP, and full detail — all without leaving the dashboard.

Before: 57 identical alerts

A typical RDP session generates dozens of connection events. Without aggregation, each one creates its own alert card. The real findings get buried underneath.
