Frequently Asked Questions
What is identity modernization and why is it important?
Identity modernization ensures that organizations move from legacy authentication and fragmented identity systems to modern, secure, cloud-ready identity models. It improves access security, enables Zero Trust, supports hybrid identity, and reduces risks from outdated protocols.
What does Active Directory hardening mean?
AD hardening involves securing domain controllers, privileged accounts, Kerberos configurations, delegation settings, GPOs, and identity-related attack paths. It reduces exposure, strengthens authentication, and improves long-term stability.
When do organizations need PKI redesign or remediation?
Organizations typically need PKI redesign when their CRL/AIA paths are inconsistent, templates are outdated, CAs are misconfigured, offline root setup is missing, or certificate issuance becomes unreliable. A modern PKI improves trust, automation, and compliance.
What is hybrid identity?
Hybrid identity is the integration of on-premises AD with cloud identity platforms like Azure AD (Entra ID). It enables MFA, Conditional Access, passwordless authentication, SSO, and modern cloud governance.
Why do companies perform AD or domain consolidation?
Consolidation reduces complexity, simplifies management, eliminates old domains, resolves DNS issues, and improves security posture. It also helps organizations standardize identity operations across business units.
What does infrastructure modernization include?
It includes improving AD, PKI, DNS, DHCP, virtualization, cloud readiness, authentication methods, governance, and security alignment. Modernization supports scalability, resilience, and future-ready environments.
