Creating a jump host in 2023
If you're planning to use Active Directory and/or Azure AD, run ADRecon/AzureADRecon and Bloodhound frequently and review in depth. Run ScoutSuite frequently and review as part of a normal operational cycle (e.g., at weekly team meetings make the results available and set aside 15 minutes to discuss and make assignments). Look critically at where these three tools overlap within two or three degrees of separation from your jump hosts (e.g., hosts/nodes that are one or two devices away and users/security groups that are one or two devices away) for help prioritizing when you have too many high-risk/high-impact items to look through.

Free range internal pen testing
You can run ADRecon to create an Excel report with all AD objects like users, groups, computers etc. Very useful to get an overview of you AD. Especially inspect the Excel tab "users" and go through the columns "info" and "description". Many companies store cleartext credentials or initial passwords in these fields. Those fields can be read by any authenticated AD user and is not a great place to put sensitive data
