On-Premises Identity Protection service detects and mitigates threats in Active Directory using Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Protects credentials and Active Directory against misuse, targeted attacks on domain controllers, and lateral movement within internal networks. With Microsoft Defender for Identity, your organization can proactively detect, investigate, and respond to threats that compromise on-premises infrastructure. Integration with Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel enables comprehensive defense and advanced threat correlation. Key Benefits • Detection of lateral movement and privilege escalation. • Identification of compromised or at-risk privileged accounts. • Detection of Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, and stolen credential attacks. • Assessment of domain controller security posture. • Integration with Microsoft Sentinel for advanced analytics and event correlation. • Prioritized recommendations to reduce exposure to internal and external threats. Execution Strategy • Initial assessment of the Active Directory environment to identify vulnerabilities and suspicious activity. • Specialized workshop (1–2 days, available remotely, on-site, or hybrid). • Use of Microsoft Defender for Identity as the core module, with optional integration of Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel. • Joint definition of identity security goals and priorities. Deliverables • Detailed report on Active Directory threats and vulnerabilities. • Technical roadmap with prioritized actions to harden security. • Ready-to-implement recommendations (policy hardening, privilege segmentation). • Practical demonstrations of attack investigation and response.
