Today, over 85% of organizations worldwide operate on Microsoft Active Directory. In many cases, Active Directory has been in place for decades and has not been well maintained for security posture. Hackers often target Active Directory as an easy way for gaining access to a customer’s environment.

Gotham has developed an Active Directory Security Risk Assessment offering to provide specific actionable guidance to mitigate security risks in your Active Directory environment. The assessment focuses on several key components, including:

  • Domain Account Policies
  • Domain Controller
  • Active Directory and Forest
  • DNS
  • Security and Compliance
  • Active Directory Sites
  • Organizational Units and Other AD Objects
  • Group Policy Objects

We perform this assessment using an AD scanner tool that collects and analyzes security data points from the Active Directory environment. We review the data and document key risks and recommendations, and then discuss remediation efforts and tactics with the customer to mitigate the identified risks.

The AD Assessment can be performed on a one-time basis or on recurring intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually) as a managed service.

Please contact your Gotham Account Manger for more details on the Active Directory Risk Assessment.
