Invitation to our Webinar on November 5, 2026
Active Directory and PKI under Attack
How attackers become Domain Admin within hours – and how to stop them
Active Directory is the identity backbone of almost every organisation – which is exactly why attackers target it first. In this webinar, Andy Wendel demonstrates live how attackers move from an ordinary user account to Domain Admin, and which measures break that chain effectively. We also look at the often underrated role of PKI (AD CS) as both an attack surface and the foundation for Zero Trust.
