Practical workflow
The following workflow describes the steps to implement the automated Active Directory security testing. The implementation is divided into 6 steps:
- We will prepare and configure Rundeck.
- An inventory of the targeted environment is populated into Ansible using a CMDB and Rundeck is integrated with the targeted environment using WinRM.
- This step will gather the latest version of PingCastle schedule the Ansible playbook in Rundeck and perform the first initial assessment.
- The diffing will be performed to assess the evolution of the Active Directory maturity.
- In this step, we will configure the alerting based on the diffing result so remediation actions can be taken accordingly and timely.
- Finally, we will ensure the setup is ready for a production environment by setting up the last automation step and by implementing the monitoring of the solution.
The following diagram shows the different steps and their interactions:
