80% of Security Exposures Stem from Active Directory—Is Your Business Next?

For businesses relying on Active Directory, this critical system, responsible for managing access and permissions, is also the source of 80% of all security vulnerabilities.

That’s why attackers target it relentlessly, with 95 million daily attempts to compromise accounts.

A single misconfiguration can expose your entire network, leading to data breaches, ransomware attacks, and costly downtime.

If your Active Directory hasn’t been thoroughly tested, you’re leaving your business open to possible disaster. ByteSnipers’ Active Directory penetration testing identifies hidden vulnerabilities and ensures your defenses are airtight before can attackers exploit them.

Was passiert bei einem Active Directory Penetrationstest?

ByteSnipers folgt einer ganzheitlichen Methodik für Active Directory Pentests, die sich in drei Phasen gliedert:

Phase 1

Preparation & Analysis

Scope Definition: Together we determine the scope (e.g. certain OUs, domain controllers, privileged accounts).
Information Gathering: Detection of typical misconfigurations such as inadequate GPO settings.
Technical architecture: Evaluation of existing authentication mechanisms (NTLM, Kerberos), network segments and guidelines.

Phase 2

Attack Simulation

Manual & Automated Tests: We check AD enumeration, privilege escalation and lateral movement in the Active Directory.
Exploitation: Use of tools such as BloodHound, Mimikatz or LDAP queries to uncover possible paths for the expansion of rights.
Verification: Test vulnerabilities in the Active Directory to determine whether domain admin privileges can be obtained.

Phase 3

Reporting & Recommendations

Comprehensive Final Report: Active Directory vulnerability analysis with management summary and technical details.
Prioritised Action Items: Step-by-step roadmap to AD security assessment and AD hardening techniques.
Optional Retest: On request, we can check again whether all misconfigurations in the Active Directory have been rectified.
Tip: An Active Directory Security Audit should be carried out at least once a year or after major updates in order to keep your security architecture optimally up to date.

Why Are Regular Active Directory Penetration Tests Necessary?

Key Facts

Attackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and a successful compromise of your Active Directory can have a devastating impact on your entire corporate network.
Regular penetration tests are essential for companies in critical industries such as finance, telecommunications and manufacturing.
Tests should be carried out at least once a year - especially after major changes to your AD infrastructure or the integration of new systems.
In regulated industries, more frequent tests are necessary to fulfil compliance requirements.
Active Directory penetration tests protect against data leaks, financial losses and reputational damage.

Benefits of Regular Penetration Tests

Identification of new vulnerabilities caused by changes or updates in the IT environment.
Ensuring compliance with applicable safety standards and legal requirements.
Prevention of escalating threats through targeted security measures.
Strengthening the trust of customers and partners by demonstrating continuous security optimisation.
Proactive protection of your IT infrastructure against potential cyber attacks.

Active Directory Penetration Testing FAQs

What exactly is an Active Directory penetration test?

An Active Directory pentest is a comprehensive security check that reveals vulnerabilities, misconfigurations in the Active Directory and paths to privilege escalation in AD domains. Our experts simulate authentic attacks in an isolated environment to prevent potential damage.

Does the AD pen test affect ongoing operations?

As a rule, the AD penetration test is designed in such a way that productive systems are not affected. We strictly adhere to agreed time windows and scope conditions in order to minimise disruption.

What tools does ByteSnipers work with?

We use both manual techniques and specialised tools such as BloodHound, Mimikatz and other Active Directory exploitation techniques to uncover AD enumeration and vulnerabilities.

What does an Active Directory Pentest cost?

The price varies depending on the scope and complexity. Secure a free initial consultation now and receive a customised offer with no hidden costs.

How often should Active Directory penetration tests be carried out?

Our recommendation: at least once a year or after major changes to the AD (e.g. domain migration, mergers, reorganisation of OUs) - this way you will always be up to date with the latest security status.
