Hyper-Enhanced Active Directory

Effective Active Directory security can be challenging without the right tools. Attempting to do more with less can result in accidental changes to AD objects, configurations, and Group Policy data, leading to increased risks of errors and downtime. Learn how you can mitigate cybersecurity risks by automating tasks, such as GPO management and governance processes.

An essential aspect of a secure Active Directory design is to identify changes, vulnerabilities, anomalies and suspicious behavior early when appropriate monitoring and alerting measures are in place. With the ability to detect threats, vulnerabilities and bad user behaviors and then analyze them, you can reduce your threat surface. With Quest Public Sector expertise and our solutions portfolio, your agency can have high visibility into real-time activities in your Active Directory.

Federal agencies with extensive AD infrastructure can streamline their IT operations by merging multiple AD domains to a centralized directory service. This AD consolidation can help agencies meet the latest national cybersecurity mandates, reduce attack surface, simplify administration and ultimately reduce costs.

The benefits of consolidation are compelling. By reducing the number of directories and/or domains, agencies can reduce the cost and time required to manage them, which frees up IT staff to focus on other priorities. Consolidation also improves security by simplifying access control and reducing your risk surface. Additionally, consolidation can improve user experience by providing a single point of authentication for all systems and applications. Learn how Quest Public Sector can help to reduce or eliminate domains with our portfolio of powerful consolidation tools.

Learn how you can automate the recovery of your Active Directory environment should malicious activity impact it. Based on industry research, one hour of AD downtime costs approximately $730,000. With ransomware becoming an increasingly prevalent threat, Quest AD solutions offers peace of mind by reducing AD forest recovery time from days or weeks to just a few hours, thus preventing AD disasters from becoming a mission disaster.

Quest IAM solutions can help agencies extend and enhance the native capabilities of Active Directory and Azure AD. With AD’s increasing role in managing privileged access, it’s imperative to have an effective strategy to protect critical resources and privileged users. Plus, agencies can accelerate account, group, and directory management, deploy a Zero Trust cybersecurity model, eliminate manual processes, and increase efficiency and security. Go beyond the limitations of native management tools for Active Directory.
