Security leaders often struggle to understand the gaps and potential security vulnerabilities within their Active Directory (AD) environment and to track progress at reducing those threats. In response to these challenges, Forrester developed the Forrester Active Directory Security Maturity Model so that security leaders can identify the gaps in their AD infrastructure, evaluate their maturity, and incorporate those findings into their security strategy. The model provides a tool to assess your current AD environment against industry best practices and to help identify strengths and weaknesses.
