Key findings of the report:

  • Organizations are failing to adequately secure AD environments primarily because they lack visibility into risky configurations.
  • Large organizations fare the worst because of legacy applications and complex environments.
  • Lack of in-house AD expertise hampers AD hygiene efforts, particularly in small businesses or vertical markets with fewer resources.
  • Purple Knight assessment reports are prompting IT and security teams to act quickly to mitigate critical AD security gaps in their organizations.
  • Organizations are seizing the opportunity to improve security processes, organizational structure, and strategy to shore up their defenses against AD attacks.
