YAMAHA FINDS HARMONY IN SEMPERIS’ AD SECURITY SOLUTIONS

 * Active Directory Backup & Recovery
 * Jan 28, 2024

 * Balancing access and risk
 * Evaluating AD security
 * Top 2 priorities: detection and recovery
 * Continuous AD monitoring
 * Rapid AD recovery
 * Looking forward to proactive ITDR

Semperis Team

Yamaha Music Europe’s globally distributed infrastructure allows employees to
access IT resources from anywhere, at any time. But growing concerns about
access control and modern cyber threats introduced a sour note. Learn how an
Active Directory security review led to a new sense of harmony between the
company’s business demands and risk-reduction efforts.

Musicians and music fans the world over recognize the name: Yamaha. Beginning as
a reed organ manufacturer in 1887, the company soon expanded into the production
of pianos and guitars, and later the manufacturing of phonographs, professional
electronics, and hi-fi players. Today, Yamaha is known as the world’s leading
maker of musical instruments.

The founding of Yamaha Music Europe GmbH in Germany in 1966 marked the company’s
entry into European manufacturing. Acquisitions of German music software and
hardware maker Steinberg and Austian piano maker Bösendorfer solidified Yamaha’s
presence in the German market. The company’s European arm now has about 800
employees across sales, service, and musical education, with branches from
Sweden to Italy.

Like many global businesses, Yamaha today faces a symphony of cybersecurity
challenges. Its highly heterogeneous IT infrastructure must connect headquarters
with regional branches, home offices, and mobile workers. The company uses
standard products, such as Microsoft 365, as well as in-house solutions to keep
its workforce connected—both on-prem and in the cloud—whether operating in the
office, on the road, or at home.

This constant demand for high connectivity, reliability, and performance goes
hand in hand with a different challenge: increasing cybersecurity threats.


A FAMILIAR TUNE: BALANCING ACCESS AND RISK

Senior Network Engineer Christian-Martin Schulz and his experienced team of 12
are responsible for maintaining secure, high-performance access to Yamaha’s
corporate network. Schulz is also an active member of the company’s German works
council. As such, he is well versed in the importance of data protection and the
problems inherent in managing access and authorizations across the enterprise.

These priorities prompted Schulz to evaluate the security of Yamaha’s identity
infrastructure. Like 90 percent of companies worldwide, the company uses
Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as its central directory service.

“We’ve been using AD since Windows NT,” Schulz says. “It’s the central
authentication point for all systems. Without AD, practically nothing works: no
remote connections, no access.”

Through the course of his duties at Yamaha, Schulz developed a passion for
cybersecurity. He began searching for ways to check the security status of the
company’s identity infrastructure.

> Without AD, practically nothing works: no remote connections, no access.
> 
> Christian-Martin Schulz, Senior Network Engineer, Yamaha Music Europe


EVALUATING ACTIVE DIRECTORY SECURITY

His research eventually led him to Purple Knight, a free tool for assessing the
security of AD and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) environments. He learned that
Purple Knight is a leading community tool for detecting indicators of exposure
(IOEs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) in hybrid AD infrastructures.

Schulz downloaded Purple Knight and began using the tool to conduct a
comprehensive series of tests against the most common and effective attack
vectors.

Purple Knight detects risky configurations and vulnerabilities, generates a
security posture report across five categories, and provides recommendations for
prioritizing remediation actions. The tool checks for more than 130 IOEs and
IOCs and returns a security score that enables an organization to assess its
security status, considering possible threats. The average score for first-time
Purple Knight users is 68 percent, a value that always gives reason to deal more
intensively with the topic.

“After Purple Knight’s analysis, we set out to improve our own status quo,”
Schulz explains. “Because if a cyberattacker actually got to our Active
Directory, we would have to rebuild everything. So to optimize our security, we
started looking for the reasons for the vulnerabilities and what was actually
missing.”


IN THE SPOTLIGHT: THREAT DETECTION AND AD RECOVERY

Two areas proved especially critical for the company: detection and response to
current threats, and rapid recovery of Active Directory in the event of an
actual compromise. Yamaha Europe decided to implement two solutions from Active
Directory specialist Semperis: Directory Services Protector and Active Directory
Forest Recovery.

“We’re not huge,” says Schulz, explaining Yamaha Music Europe’s decision to work
with Semperis. “For us, it was important to find a solution that fits and a
partner who guarantees fast support.”

When the time came to deploy the solutions, installation took just one day,
utilizing previously submitted server specifications.

CONTINUOUS ACTIVE DIRECTORY MONITORING

Semperis Directory Services Protector is the industry’s most comprehensive
identity threat detection and response (ITDR) platform. The need to deploy an
ITDR platform stems from the simple fact that, according to research, 9 out of
10 cyberattacks on enterprises involve Active Directory.

Attackers target Active Directory mainly through misconfigurations or security
vulnerabilities. Sophisticated ITDR solutions like those from Semperis provide
continuous monitoring and an overview of the current security posture. And if a
compromise should occur, these solutions enable the organization to undo
malicious changes.

Unlike tracking tools that rely solely on security protocols and agents on
domain controllers, Directory Services Protector monitors multiple data sources.
Most importantly, the tool monitors the Active Directory replication stream—the
only reliable way to capture every change, regardless of how attackers try to
cover their tracks.

“It is extremely time-consuming for network administrators to search for new
threats or detect misconfigurations on their own. Directory Services Protector
now relieves us of this concern,” explains Schulz.


OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE THROUGH RAPID RECOVERY

“While there is no such thing as 100% protection for IT systems, our job as
network managers is primarily to make attacks as difficult as possible,” Schulz
points out.

If, despite all precautionary measures, an attacker manages to penetrate Active
Directory, it is vital to get the infrastructure up and running again as quickly
as possible. This is the purpose of the second product Yamaha implemented:
Active Directory Forest Recovery.

In a worst-case scenario, a ransomware or wiper attack might be able to take
down an organization’s domain controllers, for example. In such cases, the
restoration of the compromised AD forest using traditional, manual methods can
take days or even weeks. Plus, companies still face the risk of malware
reinfection via corrupted backups.

“The failure of Active Directory inevitably leads to a standstill in business
activities,” explains Schulz. “Rapid recovery is therefore the most urgent task.
We are able to avoid this stress with the use of Active Directory Forest
Recovery.”

This Semperis solution increases operational reliability through three basic
functions.

 * Easily set up a replica of the Active Directory production environment.
 * Automate the entire recovery process, to reduce downtime.
 * Prevent the reintroduction of malware, by restoring Active Directory to a
   known safe state.

In addition, Active Directory Forest Recovery automates the organization of
backups, keeping them up to date and reducing the amount of storage space
required.


STRIKING A HOPEFUL NOTE WITH PROACTIVE IDENTITY-FIRST SECURITY

The Semperis solutions’ capabilities were the deciding factor in Yamaha’s
purchasing decision. However, a second component was also an essential factor
for Schulz.

“Fast and competent support is also enormously important to us,” he says.

Schulz’s experience with Semperis has enabled him to strike a hopeful note
regarding risk mitigation for Yamaha Music Europe. The company is currently
planning to extend Semperis’ support to its cloud resources.

“It became clear to me that security is a never-ending process that requires
proactive action,” Schulz says.
