Maximum security through radical transparency in Active Directory, Entra ID and file servers
In many companies, the modern IT infrastructure resembles a hard-to-follow web of Active Directory structures that have grown over time, deeply nested groups, complex GPO inheritance and hybrid cloud environments. Dependencies that have built up over the years make it increasingly difficult for administrators to understand the actual state of their infrastructure.
This lack of transparency is one of the greatest security risks today. Because uncertainty arises wherever relationships can no longer be traced.
This is exactly where migRaven.MAX comes in.
The real foundation: structured infrastructure data
The decisive difference of the system lies not primarily in the AI, but in the quality of the underlying data.
Using specialized connectors, migRaven.MAX collects information from more than 90 data sources – including Active Directory, Entra ID, Teams and file servers – and consolidates it in a central Knowledge Graph. More than 100 semantic relationship types describe precisely how users, groups, systems, data and permissions are connected with one another.
This graph-based model maps the real infrastructure almost completely. Complex relationships can therefore be analyzed reliably – both for classic reports and for AI-assisted evaluations.
While generic AI systems often work without context, every analysis by MAX is based on the actual structure of the IT environment.
Two editions – operational platform and AI analysis
migRaven.MAX consists of two closely interlinked components.
The Platform Edition acts as the operational control center for the management of Active Directory and permission structures. This includes, among other things:
- Template-based provisioning
- Permission and group management
- Clean-up modules for reducing structures that have grown over time
- Owner management and four-eyes principle
- audit-proof security event logging
The optional AI Edition extends these functions with a natural language interface. Administrators can query complex relationships directly and receive understandable explanations of permission paths, group dependencies or policy conflicts. In addition, the system can automatically generate PowerShell scripts in order to fix identified problems in a targeted way.
Benefits for IT teams and management
For administrators this means above all a significant time saving. Analyses that previously required time-consuming research across several tools can now be carried out in seconds.
New employees additionally benefit from the fact that the infrastructure knowledge stored in the graph documents why certain structures exist and how they are connected.
For IT management and executives, migRaven.MAX at the same time provides a sound basis for decisions. Risks, dependencies and permission structures can be assessed transparently – for example during migrations, audits or strategic infrastructure projects.
Typical use cases for IT administrators
Analyzing permission structures and effective access rights
In many environments, complex chains of group memberships and nested permissions build up over the years. For administrators it is often hard to trace why a particular user has access to a system or a file.
migRaven.MAX analyzes these relationships completely and shows in seconds:
- which groups an access arises through
- which inheritances take effect
- where potentially critical permissions exist
This makes it possible to detect security risks and misconfigurations considerably faster.
Understanding group policies and their actual effect
In larger AD environments there are often hundreds of group policies. Inheritance, security filters or contradictory settings make it difficult to identify which policy actually takes effect on a system.
MAX analyzes the entire GPO structure down to property level and shows:
- which policy is effectively in force
- where conflicts or overlaps occur
- which systems are actually affected
This transparency makes both troubleshooting and security analyses considerably easier.
Preparing infrastructure projects better
Many IT projects – such as file server migrations, IAM rollouts or cloud transitions – fail not because of the technology, but because of the missing overview of existing structures. Within a short time, migRaven.MAX provides a complete overview of:
- Data structures and permissions
- Group and role models
- Dependencies between systems
This makes it possible to identify risks early and to plan projects on a much sounder basis.
migRaven.MAX combines deep infrastructure context with explainable analysis – and thus creates exactly the transparency that modern IT environments urgently need.
