About this tag
The ad security tag on WindowsForum.com covers topics related to Active Directory security, including vulnerabilities in Windows Server 2025 such as BadSuccessor and Golden dMSA, which exploit delegated Managed Service Accounts for privilege escalation. Discussions also address NTLM relay attacks and their resurgence in enterprise environments, as well as privacy and tracking prevention in Microsoft Edge. While the tag includes some content on ad tech privacy in media delivery, the primary focus is on securing Active Directory against modern threats, with emphasis on detection, defense strategies, and the balance between innovation and security in enterprise identity management.
