The most comprehensive Active Directory solution on the market
AD Guardian is a complete suite for managing Identity Access and Authentication for business.
Active Directory (AD) is the most important component of any IT infrastructure. Attacks against AD servers have grown exponentially as attackers have targeted the Active Directory as one of the main entry points. Active Directory security is crucial for overall security, as compromising could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. Regular monitoring, updating, and adherence to security best practices are essential for maintaining a secure Active Directory environment. Commonly seen security issues with AD include:
> Privileged Credential Attacks, Shadow Admin Accounts, Stale Accounts and Credentials.
> Poorly Implemented Group Policies and Poorly Managed Groups and Group Memberships
> Major Disasters
AD Guardian provides all aspects of management, and self-service for a variety of operations including Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR), Change Management, Disaster Recovery, Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and a deep insight into complex Active Directory (AD) functions. AD Guardian helps you to harden the most important part of your infrastructure and protect your organization from hacks, ID Theft, loss of critical data, etc. It comes in 3 variants – AD Guardian, AD Guardian Plus, and AD Guardian Cloud.
