Shield Restraint Systems powers its IT security posture with ADAudit Plus

Business challenges

• Security visibility: Shield Restraint Systems needed comprehensive visibility to monitor potential rogue logins to their Active Directory due to interactions with the Department of Defense.
• Administrator account management: The organization required a robust notification system for administrator accounts to promptly address any incorrect password attempts.

The Problem

Shield Restraint Systems, dealing with high-security requirements due to their interactions with the Department of Defense, faced significant challenges in maintaining a secure and visible Active Directory environment. Bryan Tavares, the IT Manager, highlighted the critical need for visibility into potential rogue logins and the management of limited administrator accounts.

Additionally, understaffing issues prevented the company from fully leveraging their security tools, impacting their overall security posture. To meet the mandates set by their parent company, they required a reliable AD auditing solution. ManageEngine’s ADAudit Plus emerged as the ideal solution to address these challenges.

The Solution

ADAudit Plus provided Shield Restraint Systems with the necessary visibility and monitoring capabilities for their Active Directory. The notification system ensured that administrators were immediately alerted of any incorrect password attempts, allowing for swift action. Despite initial understaffing issues, the organization has now started exploring the full potential of ADAudit Plus. Bryan noted, “We are able to get full visibility of activity on Active Directory.” The product effectively fulfilled the mandate from their parent company, providing a robust and comprehensive AD auditing solution. Additionally, the support from ManageEngine facilitated a quick setup, further enhancing the overall experience with the product.
