What is Active Directory and Why it is Required?
Active Directory is the backbone of an organization’s IT structure. It is defined as “a special-purpose database designed to manage an organization’s resources through a window’s network.”
According to an estimate, 90% of organizations depend on Active Directory as it is the primary source of Authentication and Authorization of users and devices. It stores data as ‘Objects’ and the ’Domain’ is the logical security boundary that holds all the objects’ information within its perimeter.
