In your own opinion, what are the most important factors to consider when securing a Domain Controller? How will implementing these controls affect the CIA (confidentiality, integrity, availability) triad of your enterprise?

Solution

Ans. Factors to consider when securing a domain controller:

1. Space: If there is just 1 controller, then you have to install new virtual controllers to increase the number of systems in a given area.

2. Complexity: To add more controllers, you need to keep it as scalable as possible.

3. Protection: The controller should be covered with a strong password to prevent it from getting broken down by intruders.

These will affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability as: Strong passwords will keep it secured from third parties and the data would be protected. More controllers will make it usable by a large section of people and would be available to them.
