Active Directory (AD) is at the heart of many organisations’ IT infrastructure. It manages authentication, authorisation and access to critical resources within a network.

However, its complexity and importance make it a prime target for attackers. A single vulnerability in an Active Directory can enable an attacker to quickly compromise an organisation’s entire network.

At a time when cyber attacks are increasing in frequency, sophistication and impact, traditional defensive approaches, while necessary, are no longer sufficient.

To effectively protect information systems and anticipate attacks, businesses need to adopt an offensive posture. This proactive approach encompasses practices such as pentests, Red Teaming and Assumed Breach assessments.

With cyber attacks on the increase, the security of organisations is now a priority. And to respond effectively to this growing threat, Red Teaming is the strategy of choice.

This proactive approach fits in perfectly with regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001 and the NIS 2 directive. These standards stress the importance of protecting sensitive data and ensuring rigorous information security management.

Like other cloud services, Azure is a prime target for attackers. This is due to its growing popularity and strategic importance for businesses.

To reduce the risk of security breaches, it is essential to implement robust security measures. It is also important to understand the types of attack and assess their potential impact.

Cloudflare has established itself as a key player on the web in recent years, offering not only CDN services, but also protection against various attacks. However, for these protections to be fully effective, it is essential that the server is correctly configured.

Indeed, it is crucial to prevent attackers from gaining direct access to the servers hosting web applications. To do this, users must use Cloudflare, which will redirect traffic to the server according to the specific rules defined by the client.

Whatever the web application, it is common practice to allow users to change their email address. This functionality is critical because it has a direct impact on account management. Furthermore, the email address is often used as an identifier for authentication. It is therefore essential to secure this functionality.

There are several different situations. In some cases, the application allows users to change their own email address. In other cases, an administrator can change users’ email addresses. Sometimes, both options are possible.

IoT security is a key issue for organisations. In all sectors and areas of activity (healthcare, industry, services, transport, energy, etc.), the IoT brings development and growth.

There are currently an estimated 15 billion IoT objects in use worldwide. This number could double by 2030. However, this proliferation of connected objects brings with it new challenges, particularly in terms of security.
