Use-case 13: How Would You Tackle Compromised Employee Account In Your Active Directory

When a crook employee gets hold of crucial employee credentials, your Active Directory can go bogus. Compromised accounts can turn the privileges of your Active Directory upside down and access resources inside out.

Identifying compromised accounts is quiet challenging, if you don't have the right tools for the job. Monitoring logon activityabnormal permission changes and frequent access to key resources can provide some heads-up to trailing a compromised account. With ADAudit Plusspeculating such attacks is easy as pie. 

However, the universal first-approach would be a bulk password reset for account that bring second thoughts on its authenticity. .   


Step 1: Kindly go to AD Mgmt --> User Modification --> Bulk User Modification --> Reset password.



Step 2: You can select the users whose passwords need to be reset through two options,  

a. Import the list of users through a CSV file

b. If all the users belong to an OU, you can choose that specific OU and click on search. 



Step 3: Click on check all and then, apply.
