Dark Corners alarms are part of Threat Defense for Active Directory and are triggered when domain
misconfigurations or hidden backdoors are detected within the directory environment. Here’s how
this alarm functions:
Detection of Hidden Threats: Dark Corners identifies and alerts administrators to hidden
vulnerabilities within the Active Directory, such as unauthorized access paths or misconfigurations
that could be exploited.
Security Assurance: By identifying these issues, administrators can proactively address and rectify
potential risks that are otherwise challenging to detect.
Improved Active Directory Security: The Dark Corners alarm helps ensure that backdoors and
misconfigurations do not provide attackers with hidden access points, strengthening the overall
security posture of Active Directory.
This feature allows for a deeper level of inspection within Active Directory, safeguarding against
subtle yet critical security risks.
