Paramount Defenses Inc is an information security software development company founded in 2006 with headquarters in Newport Beach, California engaged in the development and delivery of products and solutions designed to help organizations defend their IT security infrastructures.

Paramount Defenses is engaged in the development of White Knight, the world’s first integrated and dedicated IT security infrastructure protection solution. White Knight will empower business and government organizations around the world to engage in business upon a trustworthy foundation of information security by enabling them to effortlessly and reliably specify, monitor, enforce, assess, and analyze a unified security policy governing the protection of every aspect of their security infrastructure.

Paramount Defenses also develops innovative security solutions aimed at solving specific pervasive security problems that plague the IT world today. Gold Finger, built on patent-pending technology, is the world’s first solution to accurately and instantly identify the resultant set of permissions in Active Directory.

Gold Finger allows organizations to determine who has access to the keys to the kingdom, to vital user accounts, to sensitive security group memberships, and to vital group policies. It thus empowers organizations to reliably lock down access and to eliminate security privilege escalation paths in their Active Directory deployments.

In February 2007, Paramount Defenses was selected as one of the Top 10 Most Innovative security companies by the RSA 2007 Conference Program Committee. The RSA Conference is the industry's leading information security conference. The RSA 2007 Conference was keynoted by Bill Gates, General Colin Powell and other information security luminaries.

The company also offers trustworthy Active Directory access and risk assessment and mitigation services aimed at helping organizations secure their mission-critical Active Directory deployments.
