Pardon the Absence + The World's Finest Cyber Security Insights

Folks,

I hope this finds you doing well. Pardon our absence here on this blog as we have been extremely busy on several fronts, assisting organizations worldwide adequately secure and defend their foundational Active Directory deployments.

As such, over the years, we have already shared the world's most advanced cyber security insights on topics including Privileged Access, Active Directory Security, Active Directory Privilege Escalation, Active Directory Effective Permissions and more, all of which directly impact the foundational security of over twenty thousand organizations worldwide.
