IDS faced difficulty in managing project folders due to the large number of scattered files, which were constantly being moved or deleted by users. The team had to track these changes and restore each alteration made to the project folders, resulting in a daily struggle.
IDS chose ADAudit Plus because it made auditing convenient. It provides the company a centralized view of its system and enables it to easily track and monitor users.
With ADAudit Plus, it became easy for IDS to gain granular visibility into all the changes made to the folders across its network. The file server auditing in ADAuditPlus centrally tracks, audits, and secures the file servers in a Windows Server environment in real time. IDS can now track actions including creation, deletion, and modifications, along with details on who did what, when, and from where. It can also securely track authorized and unauthorized access, and changes made to file and folder structures, shares, and permissions. Additionally, alerts are generated for critical modifications or deletions, enabling the company to tend to it immediately.
ADAudit Plus also helps IDS monitor and audit all types of user login behavior, including interactive, remote, local, and network logins. With ADAudit Plus, the company can track and scrutinize failed login attempts based on username, IP address, login time, and other factors to spot and mitigate what could be signs of indiscretion. It can get a complete login audit trail for any user along with instant details on who is logged in, from where, since when, and more. This helps IDS to track failed login attempts from service accounts.
ADAudit Plus has a plethora of real-time audit reports to help administrators monitor their AD environment, and other out-of-the-box reports help IDS easily understand Event Viewer data and keep track of everything happening to its project folders. IDS can also customize alerts to fit its specific needs and set up notifications via email or SMS to ensure that it's always aware of what's happening in its network infrastructure.
