๐จ By default, Active Directory is too permissive
โช๏ธ Privileged accounts can log in anywhere

โช๏ธ Secrets get spread across the entire environment
Without access restrictions, attackers donโt need zero-days โ they just move laterally.

โ Implement a Tiering Model to control where privileged accounts can authenticate.
โ Restrict access between tiers.
โ Make secrets useless outside their designated tier.
This is one of the most effective defenses in Active Directory โ and it doesnโt rely on patching vulnerabilities.
