ADAudit Plus empowers Synod of Victoria and Tasmania with enhanced AD monitoring and security

Business challenges

• Automation of AD tasks: The IT team at the Synod of Victoria and Tasmania needed a solution to automate Active Directory tasks and streamline reporting processes.
• Enhanced monitoring: Real-time tracking of user activities and changes in AD objects was necessary for security and forensic analysis. The organization also required capabilities to detect and review suspicious user activities for potential insider threats.

The problem

Before implementing ADAudit Plus, the Uniting Church in Australia Synod of Victoria and Tasmania was looking for ways to automate certain Active Directory (AD) tasks and enhance their reporting capabilities. Additionally, the organization needed robust monitoring and analysis tools to track user activities in real-time and review them for security purposes.

The solution

With ADAudit Plus, the Uniting Church in Australia Synod of Victoria and Tasmania has successfully automated various AD tasks and improved their reporting capabilities. The tool provides comprehensive insights into AD activities through highly effective reports, which are crucial for monthly audits and forensic analysis. "[ADAudit Plus'] reports are highly effective in providing detailed, comprehensive insights on our organization's Active Directory activities," George remarked.

ADAudit Plus' user monitoring capabilities have been instrumental in enhancing security. The real-time tracking of user activities, coupled with notifications, ensures that any suspicious behavior is immediately flagged for review. George shared, "I set up a few notifications where the number of suspicious user activities happens, and I can review them for legitimacy or not, that helps for analyzing against insider threats." Besides ADAudit Plus, Delice's team also leverages ManageEngine's ADManager Plus to automate their organization's AD user management tasks. The support team has also played a significant role in the successful implementation of the tool, providing responsive and knowledgeable assistance.
