A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin and Quest Software’s Chris Thorpe
Live on-location from Infosecurity Europe 2023, Sean Martin connects with Chris Thorpe from Quest Software to discuss operational and AD resilience and how organizations can manage permissions to prevent cybersecurity threats.
The conversation covers how AD is a vital system and a single point of failure for the organization and therefore is a prime target for bad actors. Given the continued rise in cybersecurity threats, organizations should assume that accounts have already been compromised and should aim to work towards blocking access at choke points before their tier zero assets can be reached.
Sean and Chris also discuss the importance of audit trails to track changes and to find the origin of a compromise, emphasizing that AD, as a specialist product, requires a specialist solution.
