Active Directory (AD) is a popular Microsoft technology many companies and organisations use to manage and organize their network resources, such as user accounts, computers, and other devices. A variation of Active Directory for cloud setups is Azure Active Directory (AAD), which serves the same purpose. The chances are your organisation has one of these or both.
Due to common configuration errors, Active Directory can be a prime target for cyber attacks, such as ransomware. Even if your AD appears to function properly, it may not be secure. Evaluating the security of your AD is important to protect your infrastructure from potential attacks that could cause severe business disruptions.
