SpecterOps Launches BloodHound Scentry to Accelerate the Practice of Identity Attack Path Management

ALEXANDRIA, Va.--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- SpecterOps, creator of BloodHound and leader in identity Attack Path Management (APM), today announced BloodHound Scentry, a new service designed to help customers accelerate their APM practice and reduce identity risk. BloodHound Scentry combines the power of BloodHound Enterprise with SpecterOps tradecraft experts and practitioners to provide customers with tailored guidance for attack path remediation, advanced analysis for emerging threats, and privilege zone design to protect critical assets.

With BloodHound Scentry, organizations with little or no identity Attack Path Management can build and scale their practice from Level 0 (nonexistent) to Level 3 (well-defined) maturity or higher in as little as six months.

The 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found that around 80% of breaches involve compromised identity credentials, highlighting that many incidents begin with valid logins rather than novel malware or zero‑day exploits. Reflecting this shift, a 2025 SpecterOps survey of cybersecurity decision-makers found that 59% of organizations are actively researching or have already implemented an identity‑based attack path management solution.

“The risks associated with identity security continue to grow with each new provider and technology adopted, creating unseen critical risk that can only be resolved through identity APM efforts,” said Robby Winchester, Chief Services Officer at SpecterOps.

With BloodHound Scentry, organizations with little or no identity Attack Path Management can build and scale their practice from Level 0 (nonexistent) to Level 3 (well-defined) maturity or higher in as little as six months, strengthening security posture and reducing risk.

“Building a successful identity APM practice requires a team of experts who understand how identity attacks unfold, how to prioritize remediations, can quickly react to emerging threats, track the right metrics for success, and more,” said Winchester. “For companies wanting a shortcut to gain identity APM expertise and resources, BloodHound Scentry can accelerate an identity APM program to better identify and protect an organization’s most critical assets.”

SpecterOps has deep experience protecting Fortune 100 companies and government agencies from advanced threat actors. They invented Attack Path Management and created the open-source tool BloodHound (which has been downloaded over 1.5M times and is used in over 95% of pen tests around the world). The company has trained more than 10,000 professionals through its adversary-focused training programs and provides red team services to companies including OpenAI and Palantir.
