East Hartford Public Schools struggled to keep track of various changes in their Active Directory environment, such as modifications to accounts, computers, and permissions. "We had a hard time tracking changes that were made to accounts, computers, permissions," says Joseph DiLeone, Assistant Network Administrator. This lack of visibility posed a significant security risk. Furthermore, monitoring user behavior and detecting potential threats was challenging without an efficient system in place. Generating accurate and useful reports for security purposes added another layer of complexity. ADAudit Plus emerged as the hero solution, providing the tools necessary to address these challenges effectively.
ADAudit Plus provided East Hartford Public Schools with comprehensive solutions to their challenges. The product's ability to set up email alerts for specific changes in AD and Group Policy significantly improved their monitoring capabilities. "We have set up email alerts to notify us in the event that certain changes are made in AD, Group Policy, etc.," says DiLeone.
Additionally, the user behavior analytics feature helped identify anomalies such as unusual login times and potential security threats, albeit mostly false positives, which indicates a strong proactive security posture. The effective reporting capabilities allowed the creation of tailored reports to monitor vendor account logins and other security-related activities. "The reports are very effective," adds DiLeone. The support team was also praised for their quick and correct resolutions to any issues faced, ensuring a smooth user experience.
