The document, titled “Zero Trust Starts with Identity – Protecting Active Directory”, highlights identity as an increasingly compromised domain of attack. The report calls Active Directory as the central platform for identity and privilege management, making it “… the starting point of the zero trust movement.” He notes the weaknesses of Active Directory as the main reason it has become a high-value attack target: “It is largely misunderstood, largely unprotected, and a perfect complement to ransomware.”

Analysis of the document confirms that beyond basic Active Directory hygiene, IT and security managers should look for key capabilities when selecting technology to prevent and detect vulnerabilities, threats and AD attacks. These capabilities include high visibility for AD vulnerabilities and exposures, live attack detection, and configuration error discovery.
“Attackers are compromising identities at an alarming rate, targeting the central platform for identity and privilege management – Active Directory,” said Steve Hunt, strategic advisor at Aite-Novarica Group. “The research conducted for this document revealed a strong presence of providers of innovative technologies and solutions that aim to address the most pressing Active Directory security challenges. ”
“There are inherent flaws in traditional protection systems that do not provide visibility into credential exposure, cloud entitlement over-provisioning, and Active Directory exposures and vulnerabilities,” said Srikant Vissamsetti , SVP, engineering at Attivo Networks. “Attivo stands out in this document as a strong leader with a broad portfolio of solutions specifically designed for in-depth and continuous assessment of Active Directory exposures and vulnerabilities, and a unique ability to detect live attacks in depth. ”
Five global solution providers are represented in this document: Attivo Networks, Crowdstrike, Qomplx, Microsoft and Tenable. The document includes vendor profiles, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as a brief description of their solution portfolio.
