Why Protecting Active Directory Has Never Been More Urgent
Active Directory is the foundation of modern enterprise IT and the #1 target for attackers. Download the white paper to understand the risks and how to defend against them.

• Why AD is the backbone of identity, access, endpoint, and security controls
• The cascading business consequences of a compromise; from productivity loss to compliance fines
• Why traditional protections fall short when attackers are already inside the network
• How Certes DPRM cloaks AD traffic in deterministic, zero-access encryption, making it invisible, inaccessible, and inoperable to attackers
“Active Directory is the central nervous system of enterprise IT. Once compromised, attackers can bypass even the strongest access controls. Certes protects AD traffic at the transport layer — meaning attackers can’t see it, can’t manipulate it, and can’t exploit it, even if they’re already inside the network.”
Simon Pamplin, CTO Certes
Certes DPRM is a data protection and risk mitigation platform that works by securing traffic around AD, not just endpoints or identities. It’s designed to stop lateral movement, prevent enumeration, and eliminate data exfiltration, without requiring inline decryption or endpoint software.
Active Directory (AD) is the backbone of identity and access across your organisation but it’s also one of the most vulnerable. A single compromise can bring operations to a halt, expose sensitive data, and trigger costly regulatory penalties. Whether you’re facing threats from nation-state actors, ransomware gangs, or internal vulnerabilities, Data Protection and Risk Mitigation is paramount to ensuring your business stays safe. Certes delivers state-of-the-art solutions specifically designed to secure your AD against the most sophisticated attacks.
In our latest white paper, we unpack why AD has become a prime target for attackers, what’s at stake if it’s breached, and how Certes provides a more effective, zero-access approach to protect it without disrupting users, systems, or productivity.

It’s all about the data. Regulators focus on it, cyber criminals want it, and CISOs and compliance officers are caught in the middle, worrying how to protect it in the wake of ever-increasing constraints on people and budgets.
Why Your Service Provider’s Breach Is Your Problem
Too many CFOs and CISOs still believe their service providers have security under control. They don’t. Every time your data leaves your environment unprotected, you hand over your reputation, revenue, and regulatory standing to someone else’s perimeter. And when that provider gets breached, and they will, you’re the one regulators and shareholders hold responsible. The data owner stays in the firing line.
Boardroom Cybersecurity: Why Liability Has Shifted to Executives
There was a time when a data breach was an IT problem. Those days are gone. Today, cybersecurity has climbed the corporate ladder right to the top floor. Regulators, insurers, and shareholders now treat it as a test of leadership. Under DORA, GDPR, and NIS2, executives carry direct accountability for how data is protected, how incidents are managed, and how risk is governed. A security lapse goes far beyond a slap on the wrist for an operational failure, it’s considered a breach of fiduciary duty.
