Microsoft Active Directory

Native integration for enterprise-grade granular protection, enabling role-based policies through existing Active Directory structures.

The Problem

How does Microsoft Active Directory integration work?

In corporate network environments, Microsoft Active Directory is the central system used to manage users, groups, and access policies. FlashStart integrates natively with MS Active Directory to synchronize users and groups and apply advanced, granular security and browsing policies. This integration allows organizations to enforce different rules based on department, role, or business function. For example, access to social networks can be enabled for marketing teams while remaining restricted for front office or operational staff. At the same time, department managers gain visibility into internet usage within their teams, improving awareness, accountability, and overall control.

Advantages of native AD integration

Native integration with Microsoft Active Directory allows organizations to extend web security and filtering policies without changing existing identity management workflows. By synchronizing users and groups automatically, FlashStart eliminates the need for manual configuration and ensures that security rules always reflect the current organizational structure. This approach simplifies administration, reduces configuration errors, and enables consistent policy enforcement across departments and roles. At the same time, privacy is preserved by design, as no passwords or personal data are stored. Combined with optional local DNS relay support for improved performance, Active Directory integration delivers a scalable, secure, and efficient solution tailored to modern enterprise environments.
