Managing Active Directory Like It’s 2003 Leaves You Exposed in 2025

Presented by

Sander Berkouwer, CTO at DirTeam; and Darryl Baker, Senior Solutions Architect at Netwrix.

About this talk

Active Directory (AD), Windows Server, and the threat landscape have all evolved. Has your approach kept pace? Since Microsoft updated replication in Windows Server 2003, AD has gained powerful security and management enhancements. Yet many organizations still manage it as if little has changed. In 2025, as Windows Server 2025 rolls out, relying on outdated AD practices puts your organization at risk. Microsoft is steadily enforcing stricter security defaults, while modern ransomware campaigns continue to target AD as a prime entry point. Falling behind means disruption and exposure. This webinar will share practical steps you can take immediately to modernize AD management and strengthen your security posture, including: - Proven approaches for streamlining directory management and reducing complexity - How to detect and remediate common AD misconfigurations before attackers exploit them - Practical strategies to harden AD security and monitor for suspicious activity - Steps to align directory management with compliance and governance requirements If you work with AD, this is one session you cannot afford to miss.
