Active Directory Security Assessment

Active Directory (AD) serves as the foundation of enterprise identity management, controlling authentication, access controls, and trust relationships across your entire IT environment. Cybercriminals specifically target Active Directory because a single misconfiguration can provide complete domain compromise and unrestricted network access.

TrustedSec's Active Directory Security Assessment delivers comprehensive evaluation of domains, forests, group policies, and privileged accounts. Our Microsoft Certified Masters and seasoned cybersecurity consultants identify critical misconfigurations and privilege escalation paths, mapping them to real-world attacker techniques documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

Recently enhanced through TrustedSec's acquisition of Trimarc Security, led by Microsoft Certified Master Sean Metcalf.
