Tenable.ad
Behind every breach headline is an insecure Active Directory (AD) deployment. AD has become the favored target for attackers to elevate privileges and facilitate lateral movement through leveraging known flaws and misconfigurations.
Unfortunately, most organizations struggle with Active Directory security due to misconfigurations piling up as domains increase in complexity, leaving security teams unable to find and fix flaws before they become business-impacting issues.
Tenable Active Directory Security is a fast, frictionless (agentless), active directory security solution that allows you to see everything in your complex AD environment, predict what matters to reduce risk, and eliminate attack paths before attackers exploit them.
Secure Active Directory and Disrupt Attack Paths
Behind every breach headline is an insecure Active Directory (AD) deployment.
80% of attacks use AD to perform lateral movement and privilege escalation; 60%
of new malware includes codes to target AD misconfigurations. AD has become
the favored target for attackers to elevate privileges and facilitate lateral
movement through leveraging known flaws and misconfigurations. Unfortunately,
most organizations struggle with Active Directory security due to
misconfigurations piling up as domains increase in complexity, leaving security
teams unable to find and fix flaws before they become business-impacting issues.
Tenable.ad enables you to see every change in your Active Directory, predict which
anomalies or weaknesses carry the greatest risk, and act to disrupt critical attack
paths before attackers exploit them.
Challenges with Securing Active Directory
The constant changes in Active Directory (AD) in every company limits visibility to
the AD attack surface and frequently introduces new attack pathways. Few
security teams have enough visibility and context to find and remediate AD
misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
Trying harder doesn’t help. The size and complexity of most AD implementations
make manual monitoring impractical and real-time detection of attacks
impossible. Incident response and threat hunting is hampered because teams
can’t see all the hidden misconfigurations and interconnected relationships.
Consequences of Weak Active Directory Security
Successful breaches are usually followed by attacks on Active Directory to escalate
privileges, move laterally, install malware and exfiltrate data. Attackers can
successfully hide these advances from logs and other monitoring tools since their
movements through Active Directory appear compliant within existing security
policies. The high cost of weak AD security hits when attackers successfully deliver
payloads that result in data loss, ransom demands, environment reconstruction or
brand impact.
