Interrupt a ransomware attack path before it spreads like wildfire.
Protect the Microsoft identity system, watch the network and endpoints, correlate logs, contain affected systems, and keep trusted recovery beyond the attacker’s reach.
This is a representative defense scenario, not a claim about a named client deployment or a guarantee that every attack can be prevented.
A single compromised account can become a company-wide event.
- Stolen credentials create an initial foothold
- Privilege escalation opens administrative access
- Lateral movement reaches servers and endpoints
- Backups and security controls are targeted before mass encryption
Detect the unusual behavior early, break the attacker’s path, preserve evidence, and retain a known-good route back to operation.
Multiple controls working together—not one magic appliance.
Protect domain controllers, privileged accounts, administrative workstations, and service identities.
Use current, supported firewall and switching architecture to restrict lateral movement and management access.
Forward firewall, Windows, authentication, DNS, endpoint, backup, and application events to protected logging.
Reduce repeated noise and connect unusual logins, privilege changes, service creation, and outbound traffic into one incident summary.
Disable compromised accounts, isolate affected endpoints, block hostile paths, and escalate domain-controller actions for authorized human response.
Use encrypted, isolated, tested backups and documented Active Directory recovery procedures when the identity layer cannot be trusted.
Strengthen the highest-risk path within the available budget.
- AssessReview Active Directory, privileged access, firewall, logging, endpoint coverage, and recovery readiness.
- Essential controlsHarden domain controllers, centralize critical logs, segment key systems, and protect backups.
- Detection and responseAdd identity and endpoint monitoring, AI-assisted log interpretation, and documented containment actions.
- Test recoveryVerify that backups, credentials, administrative access, and recovery procedures work before an emergency.
Critical containment remains deliberate.
- Automated alerts and correlation
- Defined actions for compromised accounts and endpoints
- Human approval for high-impact domain-controller containment
- Preserved logs and audit records
- Recovery copies separated from production attack paths
