Practical Graph Optimisation and AI-Driven Models for Active Directory Security Hardening
Microsoft's Active Directory (AD) is a directory service that enables the IT admin to manage security permissions and control access within a Windows domain network. As a core management system in many of organisation, AD has become a primary target for adversaries. While many solutions for hardening attack graphs exist, these efforts fall short in addressing several key practical challenges specific to the AD attack graph. First, existing models often assume the graph is static, whereas a real-world AD environment is highly dynamic. Second, most proposed solutions are limited to the defensive measure of revoking vulnerabilities (edge removal), while more active defence mechanisms are lar...
