Once inside, Active Directory (AD) is one of the most common targets they go after since it provides authentication and authorization to all enterprise resources. Attackers exploit AD exposures and misconfigurations to steal the required information they need to gain privileged access and find targets to attack.

Organizations must reduce those exposures and misconfigurations and detect when adversaries target AD as part of their attack. They need solutions that offer live attack detection for activities that target AD and work together to provide constant visibility and remediation for critical domain, computer, and user-level exposures.
