Active Directory (AD) has been the cornerstone of enterprise identity since 1999, and still powers authentication and access for more than 90% of organizations worldwide.
But what once made AD revolutionary also makes it vulnerable today. Its deep integration and inherent trust model have turned it into one of the most targeted—yet least protected—identity systems in the enterprise.
This eBook outlines the evolving risks in AD environments and provides actionable strategies to help you safeguard the identity infrastructure every attacker targets.
What you’ll learn:
- Inside the attacker’s playbook: How adversaries exploit AD with tactics like Kerberoasting, NTLM relay, and lateral movement.
- The 5 inherited identity security gaps in AD and why they still matter today.
- How leaving AD unguarded creates operational, compliance, and reputational risk.
- Why it’s time to treat AD as part of your identity security strategy and not just IT hygiene.
- Building unified identity security with core components for extending visibility, detection, and protection across AD and the cloud.
- How leading organizations have modernized their AD security—and stopped attackers in their tracks.
