Preventing Insider Threats in Your Active Directory

Preventing Insider Threats in Your Active Directory

Active Directory (AD) is a powerful authentication and directory service used by organizations worldwide. In order to protect against insider threats and secure AD, organizations must take an in-depth look into existing permission structures, active users, and the technical implementation of Active Directory. Training users to identify potential phishing emails and social engineering attacks is essential. Additionally, users should be discouraged from clicking on any attachments, and organizations should use systems that scan for malicious content and malware. Organizations should also enable multi-factor authentication with a strong password policy and use Specops Password Policy to ensure users comply with password policies such as NIST, CJIS, and PCI, and block weak passwords.
