While AD is often overlooked in incident response planning, organizations must prioritize its protection through measures like data encryption, secure authentication, and secure backups. Effective recovery tools can significantly reduce downtime and minimize the impact of AD attacks, ensuring business continuity and minimizing financial and reputational risk.
