Attivo Networks announced the expansion of its Active Directory protection suite of products with a new and innovative way to discover and remediate exposures in Active Directory that could lead to breaches.

Active Directory is a directory service used by over 90% of all enterprises for employee authentication, identity management and access control.

"Protecting Active Directory should be on the radar of every executive team. The consequences can be dire when an attacker uses Active Directory to compromise all critical resources and identities gaining access to key applications, data and tampers with security policies," said Srikant Vissamsetti, senior vice president of engineering at Attivo Networks.

"We see Active Directory exploitation used in the majority of ransomware, insider and advanced attacks. We are pleased to now offer our customers early and efficient solutions for preventing the misuse of Active Directory."

"Since Active Directory is the jumping off point for so many attacks, security executives must prioritize the protection of Active Directory and Kerberos authentication vulnerabilities," said Steve Hunt, senior analyst at Aite Group.

Unprecedented levels of visibility for security teams since they can run the solution from a single endpoint without needing privileged access to Active Directory.
