The hidden danger of manual authorization assignments<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>\n\n\nFast, unbureaucratic and uncomplicated – this is how the assignment of rights in the system seems to work when it is carried out manually by administrators. It is obvious that the need-to-know principle is difficult to implement. In practice, however, more and more extensive authorizations usually accumulate over time, not all of which are needed. But that’s not all. In addition to the effort involved in manual administration and the historically grown authorizations, there is another problem: undocumented AD groups created by hackers.<\/p>\n
This is exactly where the Access Manager comes in and offers a way to put a stop to growing authorizations and harmful AD groups through the automatic TARGET-ACTUAL comparison. We explain why it is not enough to manually document changes and eliminate them yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\nSecurity gaps due to manual authorization assignments<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/h2><\/div>In the context of recent Exchange hacker attacks, one of the attack tactics is often the creation of new AD groups that gain access to the file servers. This gives hackers access to secret elements. The manual assignment of permissions in particular makes it difficult for an admin to recognize which changes were made externally and which were made internally. As a result, it can take a long time to recognize which groups belong to “the bad guys”. This wastes valuable time during which vast amounts of sensitive data can be tapped. Another countermeasure would of course be to temporarily paralyze everything, but the disadvantages of such an action should be obvious. And after these measures, it is still not clear where exactly the rights and groups came from and who inserted them. This means that effectively closing the security gap in order to prevent future attacks in the long term will be time-consuming and complicated.<\/p>\n<\/div>
