Attackers are targeting Active Directory Certificate Services misconfigurations to impersonate admins. Netwrix is closing this gap with monitoring and blocking of suspicious certificate enrollments, easier access to security insights through MCP servers, and real-world validation via Bug Crowd. These innovations advance identity-first security and reduce organizational risk.

Active Directory synchronization aligns on-prem and cloud identities, supporting secure access, policy consistency, and operational efficiency in hybrid environments. It enables unified authentication, automates provisioning, and enforces governance across platforms. Netwrix Directory Management enhances this with end-to-end synchronization, real-time updates, access reviews, and password policy enforcement—without third-party connectors.

Windows Server 2025 introduced delegated managed service accounts (dMSAs) to improve security by linking service authentication to device identities. But attackers have already found a way to twist this new feature into a dangerous privilege escalation technique. The BadSuccessor attack lets adversaries impersonate any user — even domain admins — without triggering traditional alerts. Here’s how it works, why it’s so stealthy, and what you can do to stay ahead of it.

Microsoft highly recommends enabling MFA on all Entra ID users to protect their environment against potential attackers and avoid getting breached. This can cause a lot of issues and damage for the company from reputation problems to large fines. The latest figures from Microsoft Threat Intelligence research show that more than 99% of attacks are password attacks. Microsoft alone registers 7,000 password attacks per second!

Identity and access management (IAM) is about enabling secure, scalable and efficient operations across increasingly complex environments. The right IAM solution doesn’t just support IT, it actively reduces friction, tightens security and adapts to an organization’s environment. Better outcomes happen with solutions that align with organizational needs and don’t demand numerous workarounds.
