What does the Identity Authentication Methods in Active Directory Dataset include?

The Identity Authentication Methods in Active Directory Dataset includes 1,542 authenticated methods documented in CSV and Excel formats, with fields covering protocol type, encryption strength, default enablement, deprecation status, and compliance mappings to NIST, CIS, and MITRE ATT&CK. It also includes a maturity assessment model, gap analysis matrix, and schema documentation for integration into security and compliance tooling.

What are the most secure identity authentication methods in Active Directory in 2024? Without a comprehensive, up-to-date dataset mapping every viable authentication method, your organisation risks misconfigurations, privilege escalation attacks, and failed compliance audits under frameworks like ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP 800-63, and CIS Controls. The Identity Authentication Methods in Active Directory Dataset delivers 1,542 verified, categorised authentication configurations and practices, each mapped to security impact, compatibility, and deployment complexity, so you can immediately assess, compare, and implement the right method for your environment. Relying on outdated or incomplete guidance isn’t just inefficient; it exposes your network to pass-the-hash attacks, Kerberos abuse, and unauthorised lateral movement.

What You Receive

  • 1,542 identity authentication methods in Active Directory, each documented with technical name, protocol version, encryption type, default status, and deprecation timeline, enabling precise inventory and configuration analysis
  • Structured dataset in CSV and Excel format, optimised for filtering by authentication strength, legacy support, multi-factor compatibility, and domain functional level, so you can sort by risk profile or compliance requirement
  • Mapping to MITRE ATT&CK techniques (e.g., T1550, T1078), CIS Benchmarks (v8), and NIST Identity Assurance Levels (IAL1, IAL3), allowing direct alignment with threat models and regulatory standards
  • Authentication maturity scoring model across five domains: security strength, user experience, scalability, auditability, and integration effort, giving you a repeatable framework to evaluate and prioritise method adoption
  • Pre-built gap analysis matrix comparing your current authentication stack against industry best practices, highlighting high-risk deviations and deprecated protocols like NTLM and LanMan in minutes
  • Integration-ready schema documentation with field definitions, data types, and validation rules, enabling seamless ingestion into SIEM, GRC, or identity governance platforms

How This Helps You

You need to know, not guess, what authentication methods are active, permitted, or vulnerable in your Active Directory environment. This dataset eliminates guesswork by providing a complete, verifiable catalogue of all known methods, including Kerberos AES-256, PKINIT, Smart Card Logon, WebAuthn integration, and legacy NTLM variants with known exploit paths. Each entry includes compatibility flags for Windows Server versions, Group Policy enforceability, and conditional access readiness, so you can plan migrations without breaking applications. Without this level of detail, your organisation may appear compliant on paper but remain exposed to credential theft and unauthorised access. By using this dataset, you reduce the attack surface, accelerate compliance reporting, and strengthen your Zero Trust architecture at the identity layer. The cost of inaction? Failed audits, regulatory fines under GDPR or HIPAA, and increased likelihood of a breach originating from weak authentication controls.

Who Is This For?

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM) specialists validating Active Directory authentication configurations against modern security standards
  • Cybersecurity analysts conducting red team/blue team assessments or MITRE ATT&CK gap analyses
  • Compliance officers preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2, or CMMC audits requiring evidence of strong authentication controls
  • Active Directory administrators hardening domain environments and eliminating deprecated protocols like NTLM
  • Security architects designing Zero Trust identity verification layers with measurable assurance levels
  • Consultants delivering authentication readiness assessments for enterprise clients

Purchasing the Identity Authentication Methods in Active Directory Dataset isn’t an expense, it’s a force multiplier for your security programme. It equips you with the authoritative reference data needed to make defensible decisions, demonstrate due diligence, and protect your organisation’s most critical access control layer. This is the standard you’ve been missing.
