Active Directory is an implementation of LDAP directory services by Microsoft for use in Windows environments. Active Directory allows administrators to assign enterprise-wide policies, deploy programs to many computers, and apply critical updates to an entire organization. An Active Directory stores information and settings relating to an organization in a central, organized, accessible database.
During the course of regular operations, administrators of all roles operate in close proximity to sensitive data, processes or applications running on a Windows infrastructure. In the standard structure of a Windows and Active Directory deployment, these IT and security administrative functions are tightly coupled with one another. While this may not necessarily affect IT system administration, it can severely impact the integrity of security policy enforcement. Effective separation of these duties requires an independent, fine-grained access enforcement and auditing solution. Download Now
