Resurrecting Active Directory After a Ransomware Attack

Date: Tuesday, September 13 at 11am PT / 2pm ET

With cybercrime on the rise, ransomware attacks that target Active Directory (AD)—the primary identity store for most businesses worldwide—are as common as having a cup of coffee. According to Mandiant consultants, 90 percent of cyber incidents they investigate involve AD in one way or another. Given that an attack on AD is a “when” rather than “if” scenario, organizations must have a tested plan and purpose-built solutions for recovering AD after a cyberattack. Do you have such a disaster recovery (DR ) plan? Have you ever tested your backups?

In this session, Jorge de Almeida Pinto will discuss key considerations, potential mistakes, and different options to evaluate when developing your AD DR plan What you’ll learn:

  • How to proactively secure and protect AD from cyberattacks by enforcing administrative tiering best practices, preventing lateral movement, uncovering compromised passwords, and more
  • Why the ability to recover AD in a cyberattack scenario is a must-have for organizations because of AD’s role in providing access and authentication to business-critical applications, addressing risk management, ensuring business continuity, and more
  • AD cyberattack scenarios to address, including multiple (or entire) domain controller outages and irreversible malicious changes
  • Points to consider when developing an AD DR plan, including the decision-making process, backup scenarios, password vaults, and DR plan documentation
  • Limitations of the Microsoft guidelines for manually recovering AD
  • How to automate AD recovery to save time during a cyber incident and accelerate recovery of business operations
