This Microsoft Defender article explains threats to High-Value Assets (HVAs) — domain controllers, web/Exchange servers, and identity infrastructure — describing observed attacker techniques (NTLM relay, reverse SSH tunnels, remote scheduled tasks, ntdsutil exfiltration attempts, and webshells) and how asset-aware detection and automated disruption via Microsoft Security Exposure Management and Defender can detect, block, and remediate these high-impact attacks.
