In today’s digital economy, privileged identities are the keys to your organization’s most valuable assets—and a top vector for cyber attacks. Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a major source of identity risk. Drawing from a year’s worth of identity risk assessments of organizations across multiple industry segments, the Analyzing Identity Risk (AIR) report found that:

  • Exploitable privileged identity risks occur in 1 in 6 endpoints
  • 87% of local admins are not enrolled in a privileged account management tool
  • 40% of shadow admin risks can be exploited in one step
  • Privileged account passwords are left exposed on 13% of endpoints
