Cayosoft's 2025 Insights Survey Reveals 88% of Enterprise Hybrid Active Directory Environments Have Critical Vulnerabilities
Survey of more than 1,000 IT and security professionals shows 48% of organizations lack proper privilege management processes and only 17% effectively monitor sensitive Active Directory changes
COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cayosoft, the leader in hybrid Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID security and recovery, today released the results of its 2025 Active Directory Insights report, identifying glaring gaps in resilience, security, and operational efficiency that could leave critical systems exposed to attack. The survey of more than 1000 IT and security professionals, conducted by Petri Media, revealed that the majority of organizations rely on insufficient recovery solutions, while modern automation and security practices lag alarmingly behind.
'Though Active Directory just turned 25 years old, it continues to be the backbone of nearly every IT infrastructure,' said Robert Bobel, CEO of Cayosoft. 'Despite this, well over half of organizations still use insufficient methods for management and security, creating huge risks.'
Key Findings:
Inadequate Protection: 48% of organizations lack proper privilege management processes and only 17% effectively monitor sensitive AD changes, exposing critical systems to insider threats and misconfigurations.
Manual, Error-Prone Processes: 47% of IT teams still rely on native tools that lack modern functionality.
Lack of Tools: 88% of organizations reported a need for unified visibility across hybrid AD environments but lacked the tools to achieve it.
Hybrid Complexity ChallengesModern hybrid environments require advanced, bult-for-hybrid tools to avoid blind spots in security, visibility, and control. The survey revealed 40% of hybrid organizations still rely on on-premises AD as their primary management and security solution, leaving security, compliance, and service availability in jeopardy.
'In today's hybrid environments, many organizations leverage Entra ID for cloud-based identity and access, but remain critically exposed through their AD services,' said Dmitry Sotkinov, Chief Product Officer, Cayosoft. 'It's equivalent to locking the windows of a building without closing the front door.'
Commissioned by Cayosoft, the report is based on a survey of over 1000 IT and security professionals covering a range of company sizes and representing a breadth of industries. The survey was administered by the Petri.com Research Lab, a division of the Petri.com IT Knowledgebase, one of the world's leading content and community resources for IT professionals and system administrators.
Demonstrated by Cayosoft's 98% customer retention rate and 99% customer satisfaction rate, Cayosoft is trusted by enterprises and government organizations worldwide to confidently manage, monitor, and recover their Microsoft environments. Its solutions enable IT professionals to proactively detect and respond to threats, enforce governance policies, and achieve seamless hybrid administration without unnecessary complexity.

INVESTOR DEADLINE: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (RCAT) Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Investor Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT) securities between March 18, 2022 and January 15, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until Tuesday, July 22, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Red Cat class action lawsuit. Captioned Olsen v. Red Cat Holdings, Inc. , No. 25-cv-05427 (D.N.J.), the Red Cat class action lawsuit charges Red Cat as well as certain of Red Cat's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Red Cat class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. CASE ALLEGATIONS: Red Cat, together with its subsidiaries, provides products and solutions to drone industry. Red Cat's products include, among others, the 'Teal 2' drone, a small, unmanned aircraft system designed to purportedly 'Dominate the Night' during nighttime military operations. The Red Cat class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Red Cat's Salt Lake City facility's production capacity, and defendants' progress in developing the same, was overstated; and (ii) the overall value of Red Cat's Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record Tranche 2 contract (the 'SRR Contract') was overstated. The Red Cat class action lawsuit further alleges that on July 27, 2023, Red Cat revealed that its Salt Lake City facility could only currently produce 100 drones per month, the facility was still being built, refined, and expanded, and that construction of the facility was only 'substantially completed' and potentially could reach a production capacity of 1,000 drones per month over the next 2 to 3 years, but only with additional capital investments and manufacturing efficiencies realized. On this news, the price of Red Cat stock fell nearly 9%, according to the complaint. Then, on September 23, 2024, the Red Cat class action lawsuit further alleges that Red Cat announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, reporting losses per share of $0.17, missing consensus estimates by $0.09, and revenue of $2.8 million, missing consensus estimates by $1.07 million. According to the complaint, Red Cat further disclosed that Red Cat had spent 'the past four months . . . retooling [the Salt Lake City facility] and preparing for high volume production,' while admitting that a 'pause in manufacturing of Teal 2 and building Army prototypes impacted Teal 2 sales' because, among other things, Red Cat 'couldn't produce and sell Teal 2 units while retooling [its] factory.' The Red Cat class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Red Cat stock fell more than 25%. Finally, the Red Cat class action lawsuit further alleges that on January 16, 2025, Kerrisdale Capital published a report alleging that '[t]he SRR contract that Red Cat won in November and preemptively announced without the Army's permission is much smaller and less favorable than management as intimated,' and that '[i]t's highly implausible that a mass-production facility for manufacturing drones has been built at any point in the last two years for less than $1 million.' On this news, the price of Red Cat stock fell more than 21% over two trading sessions, according to the complaint. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Red Cat securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Red Cat class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Red Cat class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Red Cat class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Red Cat class action lawsuit.
