What is Directory Services in cyber security?
Systems that store, organize, and provide access to directory information.
Directory services are systems that store, organize, and provide access to directory information, such as user accounts, computer names, and network resources. These services enable administrators to manage access permissions and authentication across a network. Active Directory is a common example of a directory service used in enterprise environments. Directory services are essential for centralized identity and access management, helping to ensure that users have appropriate access to resources while maintaining security and compliance with organizational policies.
