What Is Specops Password Policy?

Specops Password Policy is an enterprise-grade security solution that extends the native capabilities of Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Group Policy Object (GPO). It allows administrators to implement advanced password rules, enforce custom complexity requirements, and set unique policies by user, group, or organizational unit (OU). Critically, it includes a breached password protection feature that continuously blocks users from setting passwords found in over four billion compromised credential lists, directly mitigating a major attack vector.
