Active Directory (AD) is a prime target for threat actors due to its role in identity management. Vulnerabilities like Kerberoasting, password spraying, default credentials, and privilege escalation pose significant risks. Specops Password Policy and Specops Password Auditor offer solutions to safeguard against these threats, through strong password enforcement and breach protection.
