    Hi All,

    This guidance – authored by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), the New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ), and the United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK) – aims to inform organisations about 17 common techniques used to target Active Directory as observed by the authoring agencies. This guidance provides an overview of each technique and how it can be leveraged by malicious actors, as well as recommended strategies to mitigate these techniques. By implementing the recommendations in this guidance, organisations can significantly improve their Active Directory security, and therefore their overall network security, to prevent intrusions by malicious actors.
