Attackers focus on Active Directory because it controls access to your most sensitive data. Once infiltrated, attackers can escalate privileges, move laterally, and even take control of the entire network. With the increasing complexity of IT environments—especially as more organizations embrace cloud services and remote work—the risk of AD breaches has never been higher.

The Volt Typhoon attack underscored the importance of strengthening AD protection, as attackers can infiltrate networks and remain undetected for extended periods. Certes’ Data Protection and Risk Mitigation takes a proactive approach by assuming breaches are inevitable. Rather than simply detecting and responding to threats, Certes ensures that even if attackers penetrate your defenses, the data they seek becomes useless, rendering the attack futile and protecting your organization from meaningful harm.

From ransomware to espionage, Active Directory attacks are on the rise. Traditional security tools often fail to detect modern threats, especially as attackers exploit these legitimate administration tools, in a technique known as Living Off the Land (LOTL), leaving your AD environment vulnerable to stealthy compromises. Attacks can go undetected for months, causing irreparable damage to your organization.

Data Protection and Risk Mitigation is critical for defending against Active Directory attacks; 100% data focused, Crypto Agile and Quantum Safe and has never been hacked. Our state-of-the-art DPRM solution acts as a formidable defense against the rising threats of data breaches and ransomware attacks, ensuring a solid foundation for your digital assets, and breaking the ransomware kill chain before attacks can escalate.
