Breaking Free from Active Directory Tech Debt: Securing the Path to Modernization

Is your Active Directory (AD) full of hidden risks you can’t see? Every IT team inherits technical debt - outdated systems, risky protocols, and legacy processes that quietly build up until they become tomorrow’s security incident. This presentation reveals how attackers exploit unmanaged service accounts, NTLM authentications, shadow identities, and stale credentials to move laterally across hybrid environments - and how you can stop them. With Windows 10 reaching end-of-support and compliance pressures growing, legacy platforms must be modernized to reduce the identity attack surface. Traditional tools often fail to detect what looks like “normal” AD activity, leaving dangerous gaps that enable privilege abuse both on-premises and in the cloud. In this expert-led session, you’ll learn how to treat AD tech debt as a strategic security project - and use it as a catalyst for modernization. Industry experts and practitioners share actionable steps to: ** Understand and Eliminate Hidden Risk: -- Expose unmanaged privileged and service accounts - and establish clear ownership. -- Identify which accounts are truly active and safely deprecate the rest. -- Discover how NTLM, misaligned authentications, and privilege creep enable lateral movement. ** Extend Modern Controls to Legacy Environments: -- Enforce adaptive MFA and access policies on protocols and systems that previously couldn’t support them. -- Segment identities, clean up NTLM usage, and block unauthorized access paths. ** Modernize for Hybrid Reality: -- Learn how lateral movement traverses on-prem AD and cloud identities - and how to shut it down. -- Build a sequenced roadmap that reduces exposure while maintaining business continuity. Featuring four-time Microsoft MVP Nick Cavalancia, IAM architect Steve Rennick (Ciena), and Dor Segal, lead researcher at Silverfort, this session also includes a live demo on how to surface NTLM authentications and build scalable policies to eliminate them. Don’t let yesterday’s technical debt become tomorrow’s breach. Watch now to learn how to modernize Active Directory security, strengthen your hybrid identity posture, and stop lateral movement before it starts.
