Active Directory Security Assessment
Identify security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and potential attack paths across your Active Directory environment. Assess critical AD security settings, privileged accounts, authentication controls, Group Policy, permissions, and other security controls against Microsoft recommendations, CIS Benchmarks, NIST, ANSSI, and MITRE ATT&CK to understand your security posture and prioritize remediation.
SecID AD Assessment
SecID for Active Directory Encompass Five Essential Assessment Categories
Health Check
Health Check involves evaluating the tool’s capability to perform health checks on various components. For Active Directory, this may include assessing the KCC component, DNS, domain controllers, replication, active directory site coverage, partition backup, inconsistent states of domain controllers, orphaned domain controllers, undefined subnets, and DCDiag tests, among others.
Misconfiguration
Misconfiguration entails the tool’s ability to identify and report misconfiguration items. In the context of Active Directory, this may cover aspects such as undefined subnets, AD Site Links, replication topology, time synchronization, Fine-Grained Password Policy (FGPP) parameters, Domain Account Policy parameters, manual bridgehead servers, DNS static records and more.
Security & Risks
Security and Risk assessment involves evaluating whether the tool can perform a comprehensive analysis of security vulnerabilities and risks. Specifically for Active Directory, this may include examining LAN Manager Hashes, SMB Signing, LDAP Signing, NT4Crypto, accounts with blank passwords, accounts using SPNs, unauthenticated domain controllers, and numerous other tests.
Performance
Performance assessment focuses on the tool’s ability to evaluate component performance. In the case of Active Directory, the primary focus is on domain controllers. It is important to monitor KCC and LDAP performance, as they heavily influence domain controllers’ functionality, depending on the size of the environment.
Non-Compliance
Non-Compliance evaluation involves checking for non-compliant items. For Active Directory, although the number of such items may be limited, the tool should at least highlight the privileged users added in the past 10 days. It should also assist in closely monitoring admin and user activities and facilitating recovery from security incidents.
The AD Assessment Tool is available through SecID-Security, providing organizations with a comprehensive solution to assess the security posture of their Microsoft Active Directory environment.
