OVERVIEW

A security assessment can help you efficiently and reliably assess in-depth the security state of your Active Directory.

An Active Directory security (risk) assessment is a formal, systematic and methodical process that allows an organization to comprehensively and reliably identify, assess and mitigate/manage all current risks to its Active Directory deployment.

It is the only means by which an organization can obtain a complete and reliable assessment of the state of security of its Active Directory deployment and by which it can systematically and measurably mitigate or manage currently existent risks.

It can help you quickly obtain a complete assessment of the security state of your Active Directory deployment and help you in determining how to enhance Active Directory security.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the security assessment is to identify and prioritize all security risks to which your Active Directory deployment may be exposed today, so you can determine what security measures to implement / deploy to adequately protect it from the risk of compromise.

The findings of the security assessment provide complete visibility into the current security posture of your organization's Active Directory deployment. They also empower your organization to unambiguously determine precisely where (and how) IT resources need to be applied towards measurably enhancing the security posture of your Active Directory deployments.
