WHY CONVENTIONAL SECURITY TOOLS PROVE INADEQUATE FOR AD

Unfortunately for enterprises, attempts at abusing AD usually go unseen due to the inherent nature of the configurations involved Poor or default configurations put enterprises at risk as traditional siloed security tools fail to correlate the potential exposure of critical assets in the network

Tools such as endpoint detection and response (EDR), security information and event management (SIEM) and intrusion detection software (IDS), although useful, prove ineffective in identifying critical vulnerabilities and dangerous misconfigurations in AD that create attack paths leading to a successful ransomware attack. These reactive technologies, even when used in collaboration, are not enough.

Knowing that you have been attacked is essential, but anticipating and preventing attacks via exposure management is crucial to staying resilient and thwarting attacks. Detecting and eliminating attack pathways gives enterprises the ability to block new threats before the pathways are exploited by attackers.
