Securing Active Directory

Active Directory has evolved over the years, but many admins still treat it like the platform that it was in the Windows Server 2003 era. It's time to look at the new security features that were introduced in Active Directory over the years and how you can put them to good use!

This mostly-demos webinar will showcase a couple of the new security features, straight from Chapter 10 of the Active Directory Administration Cookbook that you can use to up your organization's security game. See what these features offer (and what they don't) and how your organization may benefit from you applying them in the right way.

You’ll see such features as:

  • Fine-grained password
  • Account lockout policies
  • LAPS
  • Active Directory Recycle Bin
  • Group Managed Service Accounts
  • Protected Users group

Bonus: Discover how to identify security gaps in your AD and quickly detect and respond to suspicious AD activity.

Connecting Active Directory to Azure AD

Chapters 11 and 12 of the Active Directory Administration Cookbook focus on how to use Azure AD Connect to implement and manage an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) farm for single sign-on to Azure Active Directory and Office 365.

Azure AD Connect is a versatile yet free tool from Microsoft to build the bridge between Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. It takes care of synchronization of objects between the two identity platforms and can configure authentication, too. While not widely known, Azure AD Connect is the perfect tool to set up an AD FS Farm, consisting of an AD FS Server (also known as a Security Token Service) and a Web Application Proxy. It automatically sets up the Relying Party Trust to Azure AD. When done, Azure AD Connect has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that you might want to take advantage of.

Uncover how to:

  • Set up Azure AD Connect with the right choices
  • Configure AD FS through Azure AD Connect
  • Federate an Azure AD domain
  • Easily update the AD FS certificate on all WAPs and AD FS servers
  • Verify federated logins
  • Reset the Azure AD trust, when needed

                                                        

Bonus: Gain insights in sign-ins both in Active Directory and Azure AD in one dashboard

Hardening Azure AD

Following the examples of 90% of Fortune 500 companies, organizations are dipping their toes in the water when it comes to Azure Active Directory. However, the platform has been around for quite a while already and has seen some major security improvements that were not implemented to older tenants. Because it might break things. As new organizations start using Azure AD tenants and older tenants might want to take advantage of the new security features, it's about time to start looking at them.

This session, based on the tips from Chapter 14 of the Active Directory Administration Cookbook, focuses on security measures you can take today with your organization's Azure AD Premium or Microsoft 365 E3 licenses. Join our webinar and you will not have to doubt if you've made the right decisions when it comes to cloud and hybrid identity!

Learn how to apply:

  • Conditional Access
  • Application registration policies
  • Guest invitation settings
  • Portal access restrictions

Bonus: learn how to easily track and report on security and configuration changes in Azure AD
