The EGPC needed an IT security and compliance solution to address its challenges with respect to file server monitoring, user login monitoring, and tracking changes in its Active Directory. Mohamed Abd Elsamie, EGPC's system administrator, emphasized the company's needs, which were to "monitor file servers and know who deleted files, monitor users' logins and know who [had a] high [number of] bad passwords, and [see] which machine or application caused this."
ADAudit Plus proved to be a valuable solution to effectively address the EGPC's security compliance challenges. The EGPC highly appreciated ADAudit Plus' comprehensive reports, providing valuable insights into users' login behaviors, such as their peak login time, anomalies in login behavior, failed login attempts, and complete login audit trails for all users. Abd Elsamie reiterated the effectiveness of the reports, stating, "ADAudit Plus reports are effective and very helpful for [tracking] users' login behaviors and file server users' behaviors."
