Mitigating the top 5 modern Active Directory threats

Don’t let outdated configurations and alert fatigue open the door to identity compromise.

In a world where 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials, Active Directory (AD) remains a prime target — and securing it is more critical than ever. If AD goes down, your organisation could face up to $730,000 in costs per hour. Worse yet, attackers who breach AD can often leap into your cloud platforms like Entra ID and Microsoft 365, wreaking even broader havoc.

The eBook, “Mitigating the Top 5 Modern AD Threats,” lays out the most common — and dangerous — identity-based risks, and offers practical strategies to secure your environment from both legacy misconfigurations and emerging tactics.

Discover how to address:

  • Poor security hygiene — 88% of orgs fail to meet basic AD standards
  • Expanding attack surfaces from M&A, cloud adoption and user sprawl
  • Lack of administrative tiering, making it easier for attackers to escalate privileges
  • Alert fatigue — overwhelming volumes of false positives hiding real threats
  • On-premises neglect — declining AD expertise and shrinking support from Microsoft

Backed by AI, machine learning and integration with Microsoft Security Copilot, Security Guardian helps you proactively defend against identity threats before they escalate.
