February TASK: Securing Active Directory
Speakers: Sean Deuby, Alexandra Weaver and Doug Davis
Topic: How to Secure Active Directory: Best Practices for Detection, Remediation & Recovery
For the past quarter century, identity in the enterprise has been synonymous with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). Therefore, AD is almost always involved in a cyberattack—either as the target or as a route to the target. Moreover, vulnerabilities accumulate over time, making it highly susceptible to threat actor TTPs. And once compromised, AD is extraordinarily difficult to recover.
Join 15-time Microsoft MVP Sean Deuby, Principal Technologist, Alexandra Weaver, Solution Architect and Doug Davis, Senior Solutions Architect all from Semperis for a review of the top vulnerabilities in AD, how to mitigate them, and the complications of AD recovery. Further:
Discover the most common AD vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
Learn why AD is the cyber kill chain’s weakest link, exploited in virtually every modern attack
See how new disaster recovery technologies automate the recovery of complex systems, facilitate recovery to the cloud, and eliminate the risk of reinfection from system state and bare-metal backups
Learn how to use free tools to reduce your AD attack surface
