Does Your Active Directory Disaster Recovery Plan Cover Cyberattacks?

In this whitepaper, Gil Kirkpatrick (Semperis Chief Architect) and Guido Grillenmeier (Semperis Chief Technologist) show how the threat landscape has changed dramatically since Microsoft first introduced Active Directory (AD) in 2000, and how you can build a cyber-resilient AD DR plan. Microsoft has improved Windows security substantially, added features and capabilities to simplify AD object recovery, and improved the behavior of AD when running in a virtualized environment. But the fundamental problems of recovering an entire AD forest from backup haven‘t changed. It‘s still an error-prone, complex process that requires planning and practice for all but the most trivial AD deployments.
