The Real Reason Hackers Target Active Directory First

Active Directory controls access to nearly every application, file, and system in your network.

That's exactly why it's the first thing attackers go after.

Get privileged access to AD, and an attacker doesn't need to break into ten different systems. They just need one path in, and from there they can move freely, escalate privileges, and sit undetected for weeks.

AI is making this worse. Faster reconnaissance, sharper phishing, quicker lateral movement, all pointed straight at identity infrastructure.

In this clip from our latest webinar, we talk about why AD has become the number one target in modern breaches, and how deception technology is flipping the odds, using decoy credentials and fake admin accounts to catch attackers the moment they touch something they shouldn't.

Watch the full webinar to see how deception is changing identity security.
