Privileged, critical or sensitive users, these terms may sound like IT jargon, but they all boil down to a simple point - these users have deeper access than a regular user. Privileged users are the prized possessions in your AD, and are usually the most favored target of most attackers.
There is more than one way to acquire privileged access, and once attackers gain access to a privileged account, it is only a matter of time before they claw their way into the deepest parts of your network.Hence, a systematic approach for detecting, identifying and managing privileged access is the need of the hour. Liberally assigning permissions, leaving privileged access unmonitored, irregular cleanup, etc must be avoided to maintain security.
