ADAudit Plus delivers accurate AD and Microsoft Entra ID auditing for KEBA

Business challenges

• Inadequate auditing capabilities: KEBA grappled with the absence of comprehensive auditing capabilities to monitor its IT environment.
• Lack of alerting mechanisms: The organization was unable to configure alerts for critical security events, leaving the IT team with little visibility into events happening within the IT environment.

The problem

Andreas Wagner, information system security officer at KEBA, underscored the challenges faced before implementing ADAudit Plus. "We lacked comprehensive auditing capabilities for our on-premises AD, hindering our ability to monitor and secure critical infrastructure effectively," he said. Additionally, the absence of a robust solution for real-time alerting on AD changes impeded proactive threat detection efforts, exacerbating security risks. In an effort to mitigate these security gaps, the IT leadership at KEBA zeroed in on ADAudit Plus, ManagEngine's AD auditing and visibility solution.

The solution

The implementation of ADAudit Plus enabled KEBA to monitor and audit the day-to-day activities exhibited by its employees and outsourcers across the organization's on-premises AD, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and its two file servers from a centralized console. Wagner highlighted the tool's role in mitigating KEBA's previous shortcomings. "ADAudit Plus solved all [our challenges], most importantly to send mail alerts for alert profiles," he said.

Wagner was all praise for efficiency and accuracy of ADAudit Plus' reporting capabilities, remarking that after fine-tuning the alert profiles for the company's needs, the reports were "100% accurate."

With an overall rating of 9 for the experience and a likelihood to recommend rating of 10, KEBA solidified its trust in ADAudit Plus as an indispensable component of its security infrastructure. "The capabilities, price, and features of ADAudit Plus are just right for us," Wagner said. "We have never felt the need to evaluate another product since its implementation."
