The Rise of Active Directory Exploits
An EMA Report

Smart attackers who understand the intricacies of Active Directory can turn thousands of individual vulnerabilities or exposures into a larger number of attack paths they can use to get to their goal. Given the severity of this threat, 3rd party research firm, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), conducted a research study to “understand how organizations are adapting to the growing risk, how their priorities around securing Active Directory are changing, and what obstacles they face in protecting the identity management, user authentication, and access control platform.” EMA

EMA surveyed 250 IT professionals and executives from organizations with at least 1000 employees representing at least 10 different vertical industries on the following areas:

• Priorities and Spending for Active Directory Security
• Active Directory Security Challenges and Threats
• Assessing the Security Posture of Active Directory
• Remediating Exposures and Attacks
• Protecting Active Directory
• Active Directory and Compliance
