windows active directory

The windows active directory tag covers security guidance for Windows-heavy organizations that rely on Active Directory as a core identity system. Current coverage focuses on the relationship between internet-facing FortiGate firewalls, SSL VPN gateways, compromised credentials, and access to Windows environments. It also highlights practical priorities such as hardening edge devices, reviewing identity hygiene, applying patches, and treating firewall administration as part of broader enterprise security. The featured discussion uses the FortiBleed warning to explain how weaknesses in perimeter infrastructure can affect protected Windows identity and why administrators should address both device configuration and credential exposure.
