PRODUCT FEATURE

Active Directory Security

Active Directory Security continuously assesses your on-premises Active Directory (AD) for the misconfigurations cybercriminals use to escalate privileges and move laterally. It identifies weaknesses across credentials, privileged access, certificate services, and domain configuration, and maps each finding to MITRE ATT&CK so you can prioritize and remediate before they are exploited.

We assess Kerberos abuse, certificate services exposure, authentication relay, credential exposure, and weak or stale accounts.

We surface delegation abuse, ACL manipulation, over-permissioned accounts, AdminSDHolder weaknesses, and GPO and trust modification that let attackers gain & keep elevated access.

We assess pass-the-hash and pass-the-ticket exposure, SYSVOL interception, exploitable remote services, legacy access, and end-of-life operating systems.

We surface disabled auditing and logging, masquerading, and recovery-inhibiting settings that let an attacker operate undetected or block recovery.

We assess network and system discovery and the script and software-deployment paths attackers use to run code across the domain.

WHY ACTIVE DIRECTORY SECURITY MATTERS

Reduce your Active Directory attack surface

Harden your on-premises identity foundation before attackers try to exploit it.
Replace manual scripts, quarterly reviews, and standalone point-in-time tools with continuous, scheduled assessments inside the platform you already use.
Build a systematic, repeatable cybersecurity approach as required by NIS2 and DORA.
Prove your Active Directory baseline holds over time, with severity-based prioritization, ignore rules, ticketing integrations, and reporting built in.
Extend your coverage into surfaces the CIS Benchmark does not yet reach, including certificate services, Kerberos delegation, and privileged access management.

"Holm Security has become an integral part of our cyber security strategy, helping us protect client data, meet compliance requirements, and maintain operational resilience."

Victor Jerlin

CTO, Co-founder, Internet Vikings

"Since implementing Holm Security's Next-Gen Vulnerability Management Platform, we continuously monitor vulnerabilities and know where we are vulnerable."

Emir Saffar

CISO, Ur&Penn

"The data and visibility we've received from Holm Security's platform have allowed us to set up regular scanning of our OT environment, reduce our risk score, and remove vulnerabilities - from software and hardware alike. I'm very happy with the progress we've made, and our CSM is always on hand when needed."

Henrik Linder

Network Engineer,
AB Kristianstadsbyggen

"Holm Security's Customer Success and Support & Delivery teams have been instrumental in helping us interpret and act on the extensive data gathered from our IT environment scans. Their guidance has enabled us to transform raw scan results into meaningful insights, giving us a clear, comprehensive overview of our infrastructure. We can now effectively prioritize our assets and vulnerabilities based on business relevance, significantly improving our ability to manage risk and maintain a stronger security posture."

Henri Scerri

Group IT Manager, The Xara Collection

"With Holm Security, we identify vulnerabilities as they emerge in our environment and gain deep insight into their severity, exploitability, and business impact. The platform delivers clear and actionable remediation guidance, enabling us to prioritize risks correctly and address them efficiently."

Odd-Arne Haraldsen

IT Operations Manager,
Svenljunga kommun

"Both the platform and the support have worked well from the start. From network and web application scanning to Customer Success, Holm Security delivers what we need."

Robert Thel

IT-säkerhetssamordnare,
Ljungby kommun

"Holm Security has helped us bring structure to our cyber security work and stay focused on what matters most across real‑estate environments in the Benelux. With regular guidance from our CSM, seamless collaboration between Holm Security and our MSP, and increased visibility across our systems, networks, web applications, and employees, we now have clarity and a clear path toward greater cyber maturity."

Bonne Gerritsma

IT Manager, Wereldhave

As Scandinavia's largest port, maintaining uninterrupted delivery is essential, and Holm Security’s platform has helped us secure our environments with confidence. We now have visibility and control of our attack surface - internal, external, and web - ensuring our operations are covered. Their interface and customer support make proactive vulnerability management a reliable part of our operations."

Robert Jaganjac

IT Specialist, Göteborgs Hamn

"We now know exactly where the vulnerabilities are across our attack surface and how to best allocate our time. We can dig deeper into each vulnerability to see what actions need to be taken - where, how, and by whom. For the vulnerabilities our suppliers need to address, Holm Security provides the data they need so that we can avoid cyber incidents, secure data, and stay compliant."

Helge Meland

IT Consultant, Gran Kommune

"The Holm Security platform has enabled us to cover more of our attack surface, and we continue to expand coverage with additional scan types, while prioritizing remediation in a way that works for us. Paired with regular conversations with our CSM about new features and workflows, the platform keeps us compliant with NIS2 and other regulations."

Andreas Melander

IT Specialist, Tidaholms Energi

"NIS2, data protection policies, and service disruption prevention are among the reasons we needed a vulnerability management platform that was both easy to use and technically robust. The Holm Security platform meets those requirements, and with help from their Customer Success team, we can tailor workflows to make remediation more efficient."

Erik Wellander

IT Manager, HML Haga Mölndal Lastbilcentral

Why does Active Directory security matter?

Active Directory controls who can access what across your network, which makes it a primary target. Attackers exploit misconfigurations in it to escalate privileges and move laterally. Holm Security's Active Directory Security continuously assesses for those weaknesses, mapping 187 checks to nine MITRE ATT&CK tactics so you can close them before they are exploited.

What does the MITRE ATT&CK mapping give me?

It connects every finding to the real-world tactics attackers use, from credential access to privilege escalation, persistence, and lateral movement. Instead of a generic list of misconfigurations, you see which attacker behaviors each finding helps prevent, which makes prioritization and reporting straightforward.

Do I need to set anything up?

There is nothing new to install. Customers already running authenticated network assessments against a Domain Controller will see findings appear in Security Center automatically. Otherwise, you add Windows credentials to your scan profile and target the Domain Controller.

How is this different from real-time threat detection?

Those tools detect attacks as they happen. Active Directory Security is configuration baseline assessment: it finds the weaknesses that should be hardened before anyone tries to exploit them. The two are complementary.

The complete platform for a systematic, risk-based, and proactive cyber defense.
