Active Directory Recommended Practices, Part 1: Avoiding and detecting unintended permission changes

Active Directory has been the foundation of access management for over 25 years, used by most organizations to control access to resources both on-premises and in the cloud. Over time, IT pros have turned to forums, videos, and online communities to troubleshoot AD issues only to discover that a forgotten configuration from years ago, or a well-meaning shortcut like copying user accounts, can lead to major problems today.

With constant security updates from Microsoft and increasingly complex permission structures, many admins -new and experienced alike - struggle to understand who has access to what and why. This session helps you cut through that complexity and take control of your AD environment.

In this session, Sander Berkouwer and Netwrix Solution Architect Darryl Baker show how PingCastle, Access Analyzer, and Threat Prevention help admins:

• Quickly and securely assign permissions across the organization

• Equip new admins with clear insights into AD and Entra ID permissions and delegations

• Detect and block unauthorized changes to prevent new security issues
