Keep your Active Directory clean, secure, and attack-resilient
Your Active Directory (AD) is a goldmine for attackers, and one weak link can open the door to serious breaches. That’s why maintaining strong AD hygiene should be a critical pillar of your cybersecurity strategy.
In this quick guide, 5 Ways to Step Up Your AD Hygiene with Silverfort, we walk you through practical, real-world strategies to close security gaps and proactively harden your AD environment. From identifying hidden threats like shadow admins to eliminating legacy protocols and overlooked misconfigurations, we’ll run through actionable insights backed by real customer success stories.
Whether you’re tackling legacy risks or modern threats, this guide shows you how Silverfort helps you detect, monitor, and respond—without disrupting business operations.
✅ No guesswork. No heavy lifting. Just better AD security.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Uncover hidden admin accounts (aka shadow admins) and misconfigurations that could silently expand your attack surface.
- Identify and eliminate risky practices, such as NTLMv1 usage and stale service accounts that go undetected in native tools.
- Defend against stealthy identity-based attacks, like Kerberoasting and Print Spooler exploits, before they escalate.
If your AD is at the heart of your network (and let’s face it, it probably is), this is your blueprint for keeping it lean, clean, and secure.
