Strengthen the security of your Active Directory
Controlling access, identities and domain services makes your Active Directory (AD) an attractive target for hackers who can exploit misconfigurations and weak passwords to compromise your network, steal data or spread malware. In other words, it's important that you minimise the risk of attacks by strengthening the security of your AD.
What is Active Directory?
Active Directory can be seen as the backbone of your organisation's IT infrastructure. It's a component that controls access to your data and ensures efficient management of user accounts, devices and applications across the network.
With AD, you centralise the management of your security and network resources, giving your administrators access to implement policies, deploy software, manage access rights and ensure a consistent user experience across the network.
How do we strengthen the security of your Active Directory?
Hardening the security of your AD involves a number of measures aimed at strengthening defences, increasing monitoring and limiting the ability of hackers to compromise additional areas of your AD. Some of these measures include:
- Applying the latest updates and patches to AD and related systems
- Implementing strong passwords for all users and administrators
- Minimising privileged accounts
- Isolating domain controllers and other sensitive servers from the rest of the network
- Phasing out insecure software and disabling inactive features that could potentially be exploited by hackers
- Implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to prevent unnecessary traffic and communication between domains
- Introducing the tier model, which divides the AD into identity levels
- Configuring security auditing and event logging in the AD environment.
