2024年11月1日 · When possible, domain controllers should be configured with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips and all volumes in the domain controller servers should be protected via BitLocker Drive Encryption. BitLocker adds a small performance overhead, but protects the directory against compromise even if disks are removed from the server.

2023年10月11日 · With the right policies, processes, and controls, you can protect key parts of your IT infrastructure from compromise. In this article, we describe the most common types of vulnerabilities we've observed in Active Directory (AD) deployments. Next, we arm you with recommendations for how to protect these weak points from compromises.

2022年8月23日 · Active Directory and Domain Controller Security Best Practices. Let’s look at the following ways to secure domain controllers against attack. Like most good security practices and protections, it includes a layered approach. Restrict RDP access; Physical and virtual security; Regular patching; Restrict Internet access

Domain controllers restrict access to domain resources by authenticating user identity through login credentials and preventing unauthorized access to those resources. Domain services, such as those that domain controllers provide, are just one part of Microsoft Active Directory.

It authenticates users, stores user account information and enforces security policy for a domain. [3] . It is most commonly implemented in Microsoft Windows environments (see Domain controller (Windows)), where it is the centerpiece of the Windows Active Directory service.

2016年11月4日 · Active Directory security effectively begins with ensuring Domain Controllers (DCs) are configured securely. At BlackHat USA this past Summer, I spoke about AD for the security professional and provided tips on how to best secure Active Directory. This post focuses on Domain Controller security with some cross-over into Active Directory security.

2022年10月20日 · A domain controller (DC) is a type of server that’s essential for centralizing user data and protecting network security. The most important function of a domain controller is ensuring that only relevant and trustworthy users can access network resources by processing authentication requests and verifying users.

2022年4月13日 · Some examples of ways organizations keep their DCs secure include: Use jump boxes for RDP access or MMC access. Given the challenges that a modern security team is faced with, there’s potential to revisit these best practices to see where improvements can be made.

2024年12月9日 · Learn how to fortify domain controller security with effective measures, reducing attack surfaces and safeguarding your Active Directory network.

For organizations that use Active Directory (AD), securing domain controllers (DCs) is an essential part of AD security. DCs are critical components of the IT infrastructure. These servers hold sensitive and security-related data, including user account information, authentication credentials, and Group Policy objects (GPOs).
