Active Directory Security

Total Running Time: 225 min

Active Directory is the security cornerstone of many networks. If the directory is compromised, chances are that will spread across the organization. In this eLearning event, we’ll take a look at some of the security features of Active Directory and how they work. First, we’ll dive in to delegating granular permissions inside the directory. There is little that actually requires membership in one of the broad-reaching security groups like Domain Admins, and at the end of this session, you’ll be equipped to hand out exactly the permissions required and nothing more.

Next, we’ll tackle the importance of the physical security of domain controllers. Active Directory provides a solution to this problem in the form of the Read Only Domain Controller (RODC). We’ll take a look at how RODCs work and what you’ll need to think about to deploy them. To wrap things up, we’ll explore the Kerberos authentication protocol that is a critical element of the Active Directory system.
