Maximizing Security in Hybrid Active Directory Environments | A Their Story Conversation from RSA Conference 2023 | A Quest Story with Sergey Medved and Matthew Vinton

Their Story conversation with Sean Martin and Matthew Vinton and Sergey Medved from Quest

In this Their Story podcast, Sean Martin talks with Matthew Vinton and Sergey Medved from Quest about the challenges associated with Active Directory (AD) and the importance of these systems in a company's overall security methodology and posture.

Active Directory remains an integral part of an organization’s IT infrastructure as it is the pillar of identity that most organizations use to enable their workforce, partners, and business processes. The trio discusses how Quest helps companies manage their AD environment across a variety of functional areas like assessing the environment, detecting changes, putting in preventive controls, and guiding response and recovery.

They also cover the growing challenges security leaders face concerning AD and the gap between the people in the trenches and business leaders who may not understand the inherent importance of AD. Exacerbating this reality is the ongoing security talent shortage, where few new entries into the field learn the technology as it is not as forward-looking when compared to Azure.
