Active Directory

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft-developed service that stores information about objects on a network, such as users, computers, and resources. It allows administrators to manage and control access to those objects. It is a centralized database that provides authentication and authorization services for Windows-based computers and applications and other network services such as DNS, DHCP, and Certificate Services. Active Directory uses a hierarchical structure of domains and trusts to organize and manage resources in a networked environment. It provides a single point of access and control for network administrators.

Additionally, the security ratings component can provide a score for an organization's Active Directory configuration based on security best practices, highlighting areas for improvement. This solution can help organizations proactively manage their Active Directory environment, detect potential threats, and take action to secure it without requiring any prior knowledge or credentials.
