Tackling Your Standing Active Directory Cyber Risk: Tier 0 Assets and Elevated Access Sprawl

There likely isn’t an organization today that isn’t guilty of, at some point, making a change that granted elevated access… and completely forgetting about it. Two decades of “set it and forget it” changes to group memberships, permissions assignments, and more domains and trusts than you’d care to admit has your complex AD environment harboring quite a bit of standing cybersecurity risk for the organization – all due to what is commonly referred to as “Elevated Access Sprawl”. Add to this the fact that many of the resources granted access to are Tier 0 assets – those critical servers, services, and accounts (think DCs, DNS, backup services, etc.) – that, if compromised, would lead to either a completely breached environment, disrupted operations or both. So, how do these risks impact your AD environment and how can you address them?
