Active Directory Security Assessment

Decades of experience attacking Active Directory has enabled us to quickly and effectively identify areas for improvement to eliminate common exploitation paths.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Security

Your Active Directory implementation is a mission-critical and ever-evolving piece of your IT infrastructure. With regular changes in business requirements, it is more important than ever to perform baseline security audits and reviews of your Active Directory environment and its key services.

Benefits of our active directory security solutions include:

  • State-of-the-art best practices: we ensure the security of your AD by following best practices when using active directory security tools during our assessment
  • Extensive experience: our experts leverage comprehensive experience to quickly gain an understanding of your AD environment
  • Actionable conclusions: Active Directory security monitoring is only as valuable as the insights it gleans; we draw actionable conclusions from our AD security reports to identify gaps that may invite cyber threats.

Protect Yourself from Active Directory Attacks

Vulnerability management solutions are not complete without effective AD management, which safeguards your organization’s sensitive data, its applications, and its business credentials. Without robust information security audits like AD assessments, your organization remains at risk of experiencing network breaches instigated by threat actors who aim to inflict significant damage.

Neglecting your AD security invites additional risks such as malicious third parties gaining access to your network to monitor your activity, compromising additional accounts to laterally navigate your system, the theft of your digital assets, and partial or even complete corruption of your IT system. It’s not uncommon for bad actors to gain access to your user accounts completely undetected; AD security assessments like ours help identify potential and existing threats to prevent or mitigate data breaches.

How We Can Help Improve Your Active Directory Security

First, our team of experts conducts an audit of your Active Directory environment, gathering information about the underlying services, settings, and associated accounts. With our Active Directory health check, we provide an in-depth analysis of this information, focusing on identifying gaps that may expose your environment to risk.

Between our experts’ extensive experience, state-of-the-art best practices, and sophisticated active directory security assessment tools that we regularly assess and refresh, we are able to provide a thorough Active Directory security architecture assessment review that defines which items need to be addressed and allows you to account for the innovative cyberattacks that malicious actors are implementing.

Active Directory Security Assessment

This assessment will focus on the perspective of the attacker. The output of the Active Directory security assessment includes recommendations on what configurations to harden within the Active Directory environment that would be specifically targeted by an adversary to expand and escalate their presence on the network.

Key focus areas include:

  • Service Principal Name (SPN) configuration
  • Kerberos Authentication
  • Domain Functional Levels
  • Password Policy
  • Share, User, Group, and Computer Permissions
  • Null Sessions and Passwords
  • Password Reuse
  • Domain Trust Configuration
  • Server Message Block (SMB) Configuration

Detailed Active Directory Security Audit Reports

Our Active Directory security audit reports allow you to grasp the scope of your AD, how best to configure, control, and closely monitor it. With the help of our security audit reports, you can gather and analyze information relating to your Active Directory attributes and objects to assess your AD’s overall health.

Additionally, our reports generate details regarding Group Policy Objects such as link order, policy elements, and user settings, and they allow you to more easily manage AD permissions by locating groups and users with permissions to organizational units and domain controllers. Although our findings are extremely actionable, our experts will still make themselves available to help you interpret and clearly understand the results and related insights of our security audit reports.
