5 Summer-Ready Steps to Seal Active Directory
Field-proven insider-threat defenses every reseller can add to the toolbox
Active Directory remains mission-critical for every Microsoft-centric environment – yet insider misuse continues to be the fastest-growing threat. Over half of all reported insider cases involve privilege abuse, meaning attackers often already have the keys when they strike.
Bastiaan Verdonk, Principal Technology Strategist at Quest Software, shares five proven practices to help IT teams strengthen identity security without disrupting operations:
Enforce least-privilege access and remove standing permissions
Audit and clean up privileged groups
Monitor Tier-0 assets for suspicious changes
Test AD recovery processes against ransomware
Map and assess hybrid AD / Entra ID trust relationships
These measures deliver quick wins and long-term value — especially for customers seeking better control over hybrid environments.
Why this matters for resellers:
Start conversations around privilege misuse and identity risk
Deliver added value through expert AD security guidance
Offer reliable solutions backed by Quest’s proven portfolio
