Top 10 misconfigurations that expose Active Directory to
lateral movement
Active Directory (AD) is the central nervous system of enterprise identity, but it’s also one of the most overlooked when it comes to security hygiene. Misconfigurations buried deep in your AD environment can silently open the door for attackers to move laterally, escalate privileges, and ultimately compromise your entire network. And with hybrid and cloud ecosystems expanding the attack surface, the risks have never been greater.
This e-book reveals the top 10 AD misconfigurations that attackers commonly exploit to gain control and shows how a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)-driven approach can help you close these gaps for good. Backed by real-world attack paths and supported by actionable remediation strategies, this guide is essential for IT admins and security teams looking to harden their AD posture.
What you'll learn from this e-book:
- 1 Ways identity governance practices like access certification and automated reviews can neutralize these threats.
- 2 Why attackers succeed and how unaudited trust relationships, legacy protocols, and over-privileged accounts help them.
- 3How poor delegation, weak password policies, and stale accounts create risk.
- 4How to identify potential attack paths using ADManager Plus.
