CDHY chooses ADAudit Plus to stand against cyber threats

Why ManageEngine ADAudit Plus became CDHY's auditing solution

• Threat detection: The primary reason CDHY chose ADAudit Plus was the solution's Attack Surface Analyzer module. Attack Surface Analyzer offers organizations in-depth insights for 25+ common Active Directory (AD) attacks, including the detection of ransomware attacks. The feature provides curated evidence reports for each attack along with the activities performed using the exploited account. This made the agency prepared not just for threat detection but with conducting root cause analysis and performing comprehensive auditing once an incident occurs.
• Real-time notification: ADAudit Plus offers real-time alerts on incidents and changes made to an AD environment. This feature allowed CDHY to create customized alerts for its environment. Additionally, the feature helped CDHY initiate a prompt response in the event of an attack, such as executing a script to block the malicious user or shut down the compromised endpoint.
• Compliance reporting: ADAudit Plus has in-built reports for major IT compliance mandates like SOX, the PCI DSS, and HIPAA. Admins can export these reports any time and schedule them to be sent to inboxes periodically, making CDHY compliant and audit-ready.

How CDHY customized ADAudit Plus with OnboardPro

CDHY had an ideal solution in ADAudit Plus but wanted an implementation that could solve for its unique business requirements and objectives. That's why CDHY used OnboardPro, ManageEngine's exclusive professional services for IAM and SIEM solutions. Product Expert Bruce implemented the solution just as the agency required, addressing Mark's technical doubts about the Attack Surface Analyzer and alerting feature.
