Strengthen identity security starting with Active Directory

Active Directory and Entra ID security gaps become open
doors if attackers find them before you do. Don’t leave your security to chance.

OUR APPROACH

People and process

PingCastle started with a simple observation: technology alone doesn’t secure Active Directory. People and processes matter just as much, so our approach combines all three.

For CISOs, by a CISO​

Vincent Le Toux
Founder of PingCastle · CISO · Active Directory security expert

PingCastle was founded by Vincent LE TOUX, a CISO with firsthand knowledge of the challenges security leaders face, bringing together technical expertise and an understanding of people and processes. PingCastle reflects that practical approach. It grew out of a two-year Active Directory security program at ENGIE, a French multinational, covering more than 300 domains. Its objective is to help organizations take meaningful steps toward stronger security, rather than pursue perfection.

Vincent LE TOUX brought 16 years of IT experience, including five years on ENGIE’s group CISO team, with expertise spanning process and technology. His contributions to open source projects including Mimikatz, OpenPGP, and OpenSC, and presentations at security events including FIRST, BlueHat, and Black Hat, underpin the product’s technical foundations.

In 2024, PingCastle was acquired by Netwrix and is now part of the Netwrix Identity Security portfolio.
