Windows security: Now is the time to take action
ManageEngine is dedicated to helping organizations better understand, configure, and maintain the security settings required to help protect Active Directory and Windows servers. We've been touring the world this year to spread the word, and have visited over 15 countries so far!We will continue to bring solutions and security products to you in 2016 and beyond. During our seminars, workshops, user conferences, and other events, we've been focusing on the key security areas within Active Directory and Windows that are often not secured as properly as they should be. Here are the key security areas we've been focusing on:
- Password policy, including fine-grained policies for multiple password policies in the same domain.
- Authentication protocols, with a specific focus on eliminating LanManager and NTLanManager, if possible.
- Protecting against password attacks such as pass-the-hash.
- Privileged access, including built-in groups and application or service groups, which grant immediate privileges.
- Service account security to ensure these accounts are secured, protected, and monitored for any changes to keep services running.
- Real-time monitoring and alerting for key security changes in Active Directory.
