Case Study: AJS Blackfox strengthens Active Directory security and compliance with Specops

AJS Blackfox blocks 5 billion breached passwords with Specops

AJS Blackfox, an outdoor clothing retailer, faced significant vulnerabilities in its Active Directory environment following a 2017 ransomware attack. Their cyber insurance provider recommended enhancing IT security to prevent future breaches. To address this challenge, AJS Blackfox turned to Specops and implemented Specops Password Policy to secure their systems and comply with new standards.

Specops provided a solution that offered dynamic feedback for strong password creation and blocked billions of breached passwords. The implementation of Specops Password Policy and Specops Password Auditor gave the company full visibility into its Active Directory, allowing for regular scans to maintain security hygiene by flagging inactive accounts and ensuring no passwords were empty. This robust protection from Specops became a critical component of their security strategy, mitigating risk and providing peace of mind that allowed their technical team to focus on growth projects.
