Active Directory Accounts (AD Accounts): Important Guidelines
Please consider the following points to operate and monitor your AD accounts effectively and securely.
1 Use Older AD Accounts
Use an older AD account that was originally created for other purposes and can now function as a monitored account. It is important that the account has been actively used in the past.
2 Simulated Logins on AD Accounts
Automate periodic logins to create the impression of a legitimate user and realistic account activity.
3 Use Previously Used Passwords
Use an older password that has been reset several times in the past and simulate targeted failed login attempts.
4 Avoid Unusual Account Properties
Ensure that the AD account closely resembles other privileged accounts in all relevant aspects and does not contain unusual or suspicious attributes.
5 Active Monitoring of AD Accounts
Continuously monitor these AD accounts in order to track attacker activity and gather valuable security insights.
