# BloodHound

> BloodHound is a cybersecurity tool that maps and analyzes identity and access relationships within enterprise environments. By using graph analysis, it uncovers hidden and unintended attack paths that attackers could exploit to escalate privileges or move laterally, enabling security teams to better understand, prioritize, and reduce identity-based risk across on-prem and cloud infrastructures.
