Solving the 3 Most Impactful AD and Entra ID Group Management Challenges
The growing cyber threat landscape makes managing identity, privilege, and access crucial for security. This white paper explores challenges in managing Active Directory (AD) and Microsoft Entra ID groups, which can pose security risks if uncontrolled.
Key challenges include:
· Group Glut - Unnecessary group accumulation
· Nested Groups - Risks from improperly nested groups
· Permission Creep - Unintended privilege expansion
The paper outlines a group management lifecycle: creation, membership changes, owner assignment, permission changes, attestation, and deletion. Implementing this lifecycle mitigates risks and strengthens identity and access management.
