Ready to conquer Active Directory security threats?
Eradicate risk before, during and after a cyberattack.
Cybervillains never get tired of raising havoc. From ransomware, to insider threats, to exploiting misconfigurations, these dastardly devils never cease. But there’s good news. There’s a defender standing by who can mitigate risk and keep these scoundrels away: You. Keep reading to see how you can achieve a full lifecycle of hybrid AD cyber resiliency. Grab a cape and a mask, because we’re about to biff AD security threats into the Phantom Zone.

Defend Active Directory
Having superpowers is one thing, but knowing how to use them is key. Fortunately IT defenders have their own Fortress of Solitude that lays the groundwork for real Active Directory cyber resiliency: The NIST Cybersecurity Framework. It sets guidelines to identify, protect against, detect, respond to and recover from cyberattacks.
X-Ray Vision
You can’t stop attacks when you lack visibility. But having the right tools to identify risks is like having x-ray vision. You’ll have full visibility into who has access to what information, or what your critical Tier Zero assets are. Without this level of Active Directory visibility, protecting your IT environment from cybervillains becomes virtually impossible.
Uncanny Intelligence
Your attack surface is growing, and fast! But having vulnerability management solutions in place is like having uncanny intelligence. Your ability to identify vulnerabilities can go way beyond what system-provided auditing tools have to offer. So as organizations like yours adopt Microsoft 365 and Azure AD (now Microsoft Entra ID), your expanding attack surface doesn’t necessarily mean expanding risks.
Superhuman Perception
Detecting anomalies is a must for any AD defender. Having anomaly detection solutions at your fingertips is like having superhuman perception. You’ll be able to detect things like on-prem and cloud configurations, user and admin changes and activities way beyond what you can detect from Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID security logs. With heightened anomaly detection, you’re not left scrambling to find out exactly what that new anomaly was.
Super Speed
Let’s say you realized that there was strange activity going on – what now? Having solid third-party response tools is like having super speed. They’ll let you quickly investigate, analyze and – if needed – restore previous settings and permissions that were functioning before any change happened. Relying on system-provided tools will only lead to frustrating, time-consuming anomaly searches, and next steps won’t be clear.
Rapid Healing Factor
The worst time to test a disaster recovery plan is in the middle of a disaster. But a fully automated recovery system is like having rapid healing. Microsoft’s “Active Directory Forest Recovery Guide” outlines some 40 high-level steps that can be error prone and time-consuming if not automated. Performing manual processes or using system-provided tools only risks malware re-infection, extended downtime and increased losses. But with fully automated recovery, you can heal from attacks almost instantaneously.
