Identity plays a crucial role in security of an enterprise environment. Certainly, Identity is the new security perimeter. In an enterprise environment, Identity is usually managed by Active Directory or by Azure AD in case of a Hybrid Identity. An often-overlooked part of enterprise infrastructure is Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). AD CS is a Windows Server Role that implements Public Key Infrastructure and can be used for user authentication, machine authentication, document signing, email signing, file encryption and so much more. This makes AD CS a crucial part of Identity Management.
