Fighting ransomware via Active Directory
partner offer
Defending yourself effectively against ransomware
Tenable.ad lets you see every change in your Active Directory, predict which anomalies or weaknesses carry the greatest risk, and act to disrupt critical attack paths before attackers can exploit them. Tenable.ad is proactive and risk-based.
The AD security approach enables you to see all your vulnerabilities, predict the paths attackers may target, and act to detect, stop and prevent attacks. Flexible, lightweight deployment that secures your Active Directory wherever it extends – from site to cloud.
What positive business results can you expect after deploying Tenable.ad?
Attack paths will be disrupted before attackers can exploit them. Fewer breaches will result in increased privileges, movement or malware execution. Weaknesses in the DBA will be proactively detected and corrected.
AD attacks will be blocked at the beginning of the attack path, and attackers will run out of moves before reaching their ultimate goal. Detection continuous and automated ofttaques AD will lighten the monitoring load on security teams, freeing up their time for other priorities.
As several recent attacks have shown, hackers are taking advantage of vulnerabilities to gain a foothold in their victims’ networks. From there, they systematically exploit Active Directory weaknesses to rapidly disseminate ransomware, on a massive scale, across the entire IT infrastructure.
In most companies, Active Directory is the identity control center. This makes it a prime target for attackers looking to make a lateral move and elevate privileges. It can take as little as 17 minutes from the start of the attack to taking control of the domain, after which total encryption of devices becomes child’s play.
A successful strategy against ransomware!
