And Unveil a Cutting-Edge AD Security Tool at Black Hat Europe 2023

Quest Software, a global systems management, data protection and security software provider will exhibit and present at Black Hat Europe 2023 taking place from December 4 to 7 2023 at ExCel London.

Managing security threats to your Hybrid Active Directory

Chris Frewin’s speaking session “Managing Security Threats to Your Hybrid Active Directory” will take place on Thursday (7 December) at 11.35 in Business Hall Theater C.

In this session, Chris will share practical steps companies can take to modernise their AD and get lifecycle defence for identity-based threats before, during, and after an attack. According to Chris, the threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and identity remains a prime target for cyber-attacks, with Active Directory (AD) at the heart of this process. After all, AD is a fundamental component of most companies’ IT infrastructure given that 90% of organisations depend on AD for primary authentication and authorisation.  

A successful cyber-attack where identity is compromised can not only cause serious reputational damage to businesses but also halt their operations. The consequences of AD downtime are dire, with staggering costs reaching $730K per hour, as reported by Forrester. 

Quest announces Security Guardian Private Preview

Understanding all the threats, risks, and consequences that a successful attack on Active Directory can lead to, Quest is pleased to announce the private preview of Security Guardian, a new security tool designed to diminish a company’s attack surface. Security Guardian reduces alert fatigue by prioritising the most vulnerable Active Directory configurations that need attention. The solution spotlights what happened, whether you are exposed, and how to fix the problem. 

Worth noting, Security Guardian will be showcased for the very first time during Black Hat Europe 2023. Quest experts will highlight the capabilities and benefits of the new security tool at stand 226.
