Ignite 2018: There are no compensating controls for an insecure Active Directory

Ignite 2018: There are no compensating controls for an insecure Active Directory 22:12
Today everything needs to be secure, but you need to start with Active Directory. Because if AD isn’t secure – nothing else in your organization is regardless of operating system, products, or procedures. That’s a strong statement, but one that Randy Franklin Smith can back up with facts. In this fast-paced session Randy spotlights the multitudinous ways that virtually any component or information on your network can be compromised if the attacker first gains unauthorized access to AD. The good news is AD was designed well and has stood the test of time. AD security is a matter of design, comprehensive management, and monitoring and is the basis for the list of fundamentals for securing AD shared in this session.
