### *A major business technology control with massive security implications*

Active Directory architecture is critical to every Microsoft-based organisation or entity that operates a network of connected infrastructure with multiple staff and  
segmented or configured levels of access.

As the central set of services to manage authentication and authorisation of users and computers on a Windows network, Active Directory represents the keys to the kingdom for cybercriminals.

Active Directory is almost always targeted by threat actors looking to move laterally across a network following an initial breach.

Despite this, many Active Directory installs will be outdated, untidy and often left without proper security oversight.

Without the proper governance, Active Directory can be a major cyber security risk.

In this report we explore the topic of Active Directory security with cybersecurity leaders from Australian organisations.

Featuring commentary and insights from:

- Jamie Norton, Partner, McGrathNicol
- Stepanie Crowe, First Assistant Director General, Cyber Security Resilience, Australian Cyber Security Centre, Australian Signals Directorate
- Rob Wiggan, Cybersecurity Advisory, WTW
