Secure Active Directory and Disrupt Attack Paths with Tenable.ad

Behind every breach headline is an insecure Active Directory (AD) deployment. 80% of attacks use Active Directory (AD) for lateral movement and privilege escalation. 60% of new malware targets AD misconfigurations. AD is a prime target for attackers seeking to elevate privileges and move laterally. This is often accomplished by exploiting known flaws and misconfigurations. Many organizations struggle with AD security. Misconfigurations accumulate as domains grow more complex. This leaves security teams unable to find and fix flaws before they impact the business. 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 because their movements through Active Directory appear compliant within existing security policies. Consequently, the high cost of weak AD security becomes devastatingly apparent when attackers successfully deliver payloads that result in data loss, ransom demands, environment reconstruction, or brand impact.

Don’t let your Active Directory become the next breach headline. Take control of your AD security today with Tenable.ad. Contact us to schedule a demo and discover how to proactively identify and mitigate risks before attackers exploit them.
