Active Directory (AD) still runs the backbone of most enterprise environments. It’s also one of the biggest targets.
After decades of sprawl, mergers, and manual workarounds, AD environments are riddled with identity risks: shadow admins, stale accounts, legacy protocols, misconfigured permissions, and more. Attackers know how to exploit these blind spots, often using them to move laterally and escalate privileges after the initial breach.
This solution brief dives into how Silverfort helps organizations modernize and secure their AD infrastructure without disrupting operations. From real-time monitoring of Kerberos, NTLM, and LDAP to adaptive protection for privileged users and service accounts, Silverfort gives security teams visibility, control, and policy enforcement where native AD tools fall short.
In this solution brief, you’ll learn how to:
- Monitor every AD authentication in real time, detect risky patterns, and surface misconfigurations like Kerberos-to-NTLM fallbacks.
- Identify and remediate identity risks, such as overprivileged users, orphaned accounts, and unmanaged service accounts.
- Enforce adaptive MFA and least privilege controls to contain lateral movement and stop ransomware propagation before it spreads.
