How Active Directory tools fit into professional testing
Active Directory security tools analyze identity relationships, authentication protocols, delegated permissions, and paths to privileged control. Their datasets are highly sensitive and must be collected, stored, and destroyed under explicit engagement rules.
Selection criteria: Look for collection granularity, modern identity coverage, query transparency, evidence protection, and remediation-oriented output.
