New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) is the state agency charged with handling all medical and health-related fields within the state of New Mexico. NMDOH acts as a lead entity for providing core public health functions and support for laboratories across the state.
The department's NOC operates and manages a large, complex IT environment, with approximately 4,000 AD users and a network comprising of nearly 400 Cisco switches and routers. Toby Martinez, one of the network administrators from the NOC team stated that they previously used Netwrix Auditor for their auditing needs.
However, the tool failed to provide the insight or clarity needed for effective monitoring and auditing. In addition, NMDOH must present continuous compliance with HIPAA and NIST 800-53 standards. The need to revise time-consuming manual processes for compliance reporting grew larger without a centralized solution.

After evaluating alternatives, the NOC team was impressed with ADAudit Plus for its in-depth auditing reports and ease-of-use. The team was pleasantly surprised to see their manual scripts get replaced by built-in automated reports for auditing user activities, account lockouts, and GPO changes. The intuitiveness of ADAudit Plus' dashboards in comparison to Netwrix Auditor's was the cherry on top.
However, the truly game-changing feature for the department was Attack Surface Analyzer. The feature equipped the team with the ability to monitor their environment for 25+ AD attacks and possible misconfigurations in their servers. ADAudit Plus also aligned with the HIPAA and NIST 800-53 compliance requirements, making audits significantly easier.
After identifying the right solution, NMDOH wanted to switch to ADAudit Plus and expand their security toolkit with ManageEngine's other offerings, including Log360, DataSecurity Plus, and ADManager Plus.
