Skills 101: Security Guardian

If you joined us for the first episode, you already understand the basics of Security Guardian. In Tier Zero Hero, we shift the spotlight to the dashboard itself and show how to use it to investigate, assess and certify Tier Zero assets across your environment. This session takes a closer look at the Security Guardian dashboard so you can understand what it’s showing you, act on insights quickly, and strengthen protection around the most critical tier in your environment. We’ll break down what Tier Zero really means in Active Directory, and how to use Security Guardian to identify and certify Tier Zero objects.

We’ll explore:
•  How to navigate and get real value from the Security Guardian dashboard
•  What Tier Zero is, why it matters, and how attackers commonly target it
•  How to identify, validate and certify Tier Zero objects in Active Directory
•  How Security Guardian supports ongoing Tier Zero governance and oversight

Monitoring identity activity across Active Directory and Entra ID is only the first step. In this session, we’ll show how Security Guardian uses audit data to surface suspicious activity, risky changes, and identity-based attack paths. You’ll learn how to interpret findings, connect alerts to real threats impacting your privileged access tier, and apply protection to critical assets using Shields Up for Tier Zero defense.

During this live session, you’ll learn:
• How to investigate findings and detect anomalies
• Techniques to identify privilege escalation vectors and attack paths
• What Tier Zero represents in hybrid AD environments
• How Shields Up protects Tier Zero assets
• How to turn insights into consistent governance and hardening actions
