Active Directory & Identity Security

Evaluate your Active Directory environment, identity management controls, and privilege structures to identify misconfigurations, escalation paths, and credential-based risks.

Overview

Active Directory remains a primary target in many attacks because it controls authentication, authorisation, and access across the enterprise. Misconfigurations, stale accounts, excessive privileges, and weak trust relationships can provide attackers with paths to domain-wide compromise. Our assessment identifies these weaknesses before they are exploited.
