+Defender for Identity security posture assessments are divided into five key categories. Each category addresses specific identity security risks and provides remediation guidance:
 
-- **Hybrid security**: Identifies misconfigurations in environments that integrate both on-premises (e.g., Active Directory) and cloud-based identity providers (e.g., Entra ID, Okta). Assesses risks related to synchronization, authentication, and authorization across platforms.
+- **Hybrid security**: Identifies misconfigurations in environments that integrate on-premises (e.g., Active Directory) and cloud-based identity providers (e.g., Entra ID, Okta). Assesses risks related to synchronization, authentication, and authorization across platforms.
 - **Identity infrastructure**: Detects misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in core identity components, including domain controllers.
-- **Certificates**: Assesses Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) for security gaps, such as misconfigured certificate templates or weak certificate authority settings. Identifying and addressing these issues helps prevent unauthorized access that could arise from certificate-related vulnerabilities.
-- **Group policy**: Analyzes Group Policy configurations to identify settings that might allow privilege escalation or unauthorized lateral movement within the network. Ensuring secure Group Policy settings helps maintain proper access controls and system configurations.
