What's Your Active Directory State? (We're Guessing it's a Mess)
What’s critical to manage in Active Directory?
Active Directory (AD) is the core of an organization’s security and is the means by which users, customers, partners, IoT applications and devices authenticate to a system and receive their rights for traversing that system. Active Directory is the lifeblood for your apps, files, and users. Without it, nothing else works.
Group Policy Object (GPO) Gaps
Without uniformity, GPOs may cause login delays, exposures, and breach risks.
Accounts and Security Groups
Active Directory identities provide key controls that are critical to security workstreams.
Over-permissioned Accounts
Administrative privileges can make unauthorized or unnecessary system changes and escalations.
