LT Auditor+ Best Practices Active Directory Hygiene

Active Directory is the backbone of most organizations worldwide that governs access to resources and assets. Maintaining Active Directory hygiene ensures a reduced attack surface resulting in significantly lowering the probability of security breaches, data exfiltration and exploitation.

The Active Directory Hygiene panels display a set of key metrics that an organization must monitor to keep the system healthy and resilient against Cybersecurity attacks.

Permissions (ACLs)
Active Directory ACL’s (Access Control Lists) represent access control on all objects (Users, Groups, OU’s, Computers) within the directory. Discretionary access control (DACLS) defines trustees or principals granted access to an object. The LT Auditor+ Best Practices Permissions (ACLs) Panel are a set metrics that identifies DACLs that could potentially be exploited by an attacker.
