Case Study: State Employment Agency reduces Active Directory risk with Tenable Identity Exposure

State Employment Agency remediates Active Directory risks over 18 months with Tenable Networks

The state employment agency, a state government organization, faced significant security risks due to an outdated Active Directory architecture that was over 20 years old. This outdated system increased exposure for the agency and the employers and clients depending on its services. To address this, the agency turned to Tenable and implemented their Tenable Identity Exposure solution to gain visibility and eliminate attack paths.

Tenable Identity Exposure provided the agency with complete visibility into Active Directory weaknesses and real-time attack alerts. The solution enabled tactical remediation, leading to immediate discoveries, such as a rogue patch repository, and allowed the security team to clean up hundreds of group policies. Tenable gave the team confidence and evidence to drive change, significantly improving the security posture and initiating an 18-month remediation plan for the state's Active Directory.
