The #1 Ransomware Target
Active Directory (AD) is the nervous system of your IT environment. It controls access to every user, every server, and every file. Because of this, it is the first target every attacker. If they compromise AD, they own the network. Unfortunately, most AD environments are 10–20 years old, filled with legacy settings, forgotten admin accounts, and "temporary" permissions that act as open doors for ransomware.
The Solution: View Your Network Through an Attacker's Eyes
We do not just check if your servers are patching. We perform an assessment through the lens of a sophisticated adversary. We map the hidden relationships and "Attack Paths" that standard audits miss—the subtle misconfigurations that allow a hacker to jump from a Receptionist’s PC to the Domain Controller in three steps.
How We Help
We utilize advanced "Red Team" tooling (such as BloodHound) to visualize the shortest path to total compromise. We identify dangerous trusts, weak encryption protocols, and over-privileged service accounts. Then, we help you close these paths, ensuring that even if a single computer is breached, the attacker cannot seize control of the entire company.
Core Capabilities
Attack Path Mapping (BloodHound)
We visualize the hidden relationships between users and computers to discover toxic combinations of permissions that grant unintended administrative access.
Privileged Account Review
We hunt for "Shadow Admins"—users who are not in the Admin group but possess dangerous rights (like "Reset Password") over high-value targets.
Kerberoasting & AS-REP Roasting Detection
We identify service accounts with weak encryption that are vulnerable to offline password cracking—a favorite technique of modern ransomware groups.
Legacy Protocol Auditing
We locate systems still using outdated protocols like NTLMv1 or SMBv1, which are trivial for attackers to intercept and exploit.
Hybrid Identity Review (Entra ID)
If you sync to the cloud, we check the bridge. We ensure that a compromise in your on-premise AD cannot be used to take over your Microsoft 365 cloud environment.
Key Benefits
Stop Lateral Movement Ransomware relies on spreading from machine to machine. By hardening AD, we build blast walls that contain an infection to a single device, preventing a company-wide outage.
Eliminate Technical Debt AD environments accumulate "junk" over decades. We help you safely identify and remove stale users, empty groups, and expired service accounts that clutter your security posture.
Satisfy Cyber Insurance Insurers are increasingly demanding proof of AD security (like MFA enforcement and privileged access management) before issuing policies. This assessment provides the roadmap to compliance.
Protect Your Cloud In a hybrid world, on-prem security is cloud security. By securing your on-premise Active Directory, you prevent attackers from pivoting upwards to steal cloud data and email.
