Juan van Wyk, an IT infrastructure support manager, found it challenging to track and audit changes made to his IT environment on a day-to-day basis. Owing to the organization's operational scale, maintaining historic change logs proved challenging. With the organization's IT infrastructure security at stake, van Wyk's team needed an auditing and monitoring solution to track critical Windows security event logs and other activities taking place in its Active Directory (AD) environment.
Gaining a clear picture of all the granular changes made to Life Healthcare AD environment was imperative to ensure that the IT team could detect and respond to potential insider threats, privilege abuse, and other tell-tale signs of security compromise. With ADAudit Plus' real-time AD change auditing, the IT team could now monitor and receive alerts on unwarranted changes to AD objects such as users, computers, organizational units, and Group Policy Objects (GPOs). With intuitive and schedulable reports, the team could pay special attention to sudden changes made to sensitive GPO settings such as user configuration, account lockout, and password policy.
Having used other ManageEngine products in the past, van Wyk said deciding to implement ADAudit Plus at Life Healthcare was fairly straightforward.
