Active Directory (AD) is the central database on a domain controller where the login credentials of all client computers, printers, and other shared resources in the network are stored. Active Directory is, therefore, the foundation of Authentication and Authorization. This is the reason your AD environment needs to be secured and you need to know how to secure it.
Avoid these three common mistakes when it comes to securing AD
1. Use multi-layer of protection to secure you domain controller physically. Cameras, Motion detectors, red-lasers etc can be used. Protect it both in main and branch offices.
2. Do not use privileged accounts (like member of Domain Admins group) to carry out daily tasks likes browsing web, going through emails etc.
3. Do not use common username formats like firstname.lastname
