In this guide, I will show how to do some popular Active Directory attacking tests and show how Defender for Identity (MDI) will alert you about the attacks. Not everyting detected by Defender for Identity will be directly classified as potential attack. When implementing the solution, it will learn during the first 30 days what normal behaviour in the network is.
When it comes to security, it is great to secure every perimeter. In the Zero Trust model, it has been stated that we have to verify everything, everytime, everywhere. So why consider not monitoring and defending your traditional Active Directory that is still in use because of some legacy applications?
