Just in case you missed this! In this episode I dive deep into Windows Server Active Directory to discuss its current state of password policies to determine if they are still fit for purpose. Active Directory is now 24 years old and still in use by 90% of the world’s major corporations in one form or another. Of course Hybrid brings benefits in terms of convenience. But what about the weaknesses in its password policy tools. Features that have not changed in years. In this session I’ll take a look at the challenges that this brings along with possible Microsoft and third party solutions including Specops Password Policy. An awesome platform that, quite frankly surpasses Microsoft in terms of its functionality and flexibility. For more on me visit me at www.Andymalone.org Looking for more?
