Active Directory estates often contain legacy accounts, excess privileges and misconfigurations that create attack paths. Those issues make it hard for IT and identity teams to know where to focus corrective work.
Netwrix PingCastle runs targeted AD scans and produces prioritised findings, risk scores and attack‑path details. The output helps teams focus remediation on the accounts and controls that present the greatest exposure.
Routine security assessments: run scans to identify stale users, exposed accounts and risky delegations, then use the findings to drive remediation work and ticketing.
Change or incident validation: scan after major AD changes or suspected compromise to check for new attack paths or exposed privileges.
Best suited to mid‑market and enterprise on‑premises AD estates, including hybrid Azure AD mixes, where dedicated identity or security teams need clear, prioritised findings for compliance and operational remediation.
