Active Directory synchronization aligns on-prem and cloud identities, supporting secure access, policy consistency, and operational efficiency in hybrid environments. It enables unified authentication, automates provisioning, and enforces governance across platforms. Netwrix Directory Management enhances this with end-to-end synchronization, real-time updates, access reviews, and password policy enforcement—without third-party connectors.

Windows Server 2025 introduced delegated managed service accounts (dMSAs) to improve security by linking service authentication to device identities. But attackers have already found a way to twist this new feature into a dangerous privilege escalation technique. The BadSuccessor attack lets adversaries impersonate any user — even domain admins — without triggering traditional alerts. Here’s how it works, why it’s so stealthy, and what you can do to stay ahead of it.

Microsoft highly recommends enabling MFA on all Entra ID users to protect their environment against potential attackers and avoid getting breached. This can cause a lot of issues and damage for the company from reputation problems to large fines. The latest figures from Microsoft Threat Intelligence research show that more than 99% of attacks are password attacks. Microsoft alone registers 7,000 password attacks per second!

Learn what Active Directory auditing is, key areas to monitor, and best practices to improve security, detect threats, and meet compliance standards.

Identity and access management (IAM) is about enabling secure, scalable and efficient operations across increasingly complex environments. The right IAM solution doesn’t just support IT, it actively reduces friction, tightens security and adapts to an organization’s environment. Better outcomes happen with solutions that align with organizational needs and don’t demand numerous workarounds.

Learn how Group Policy in Active Directory enforces security, standardizes configurations, and improves IT control across Windows-based networks.

Every new term comes with its own flavor of IT madness, whether you're managing 500 students or 50,000. From last-minute enrollment surges and forgotten passwords to stale accounts that should've been deprovisioned months ago, IT teams in schools, colleges, and universities know the drill. And yet, many educational institutions are still relying on manual provisioning, PowerShell scripts, and spreadsheets to get through it. If you’re nodding along, this is your cue to start automating.
