Business challenge:
Waha Capital had numerous activities happening in its AD environment around the clock, and it was hard to monitor all these changes manually. The company found it challenging to keep track of changes in its file servers, and it needed to audit and track file accesses and modifications across Windows, NetApp, and other storage devices.
The solution: ADAudit Plus
Waha Capital chose ADAudit Plus to monitor all the activities happening in its AD environment in real time. The solution gives the company visibility into its network, with a consolidated view of all network events. The alerting module helps it to stay aware of all the changes taking place in its AD environment.
ADAudit Plus provides Waha Capital a centralized, web-based console for managing and monitoring AD, making it easy to track changes. The solution tracks and records all changes made to AD objects, including users, groups, computers, and organizational units. This includes changes to attributes, such as passwords, group memberships, and security permissions. Additionally, the solution provides real-time alerts for critical events, such as changes made to privileged accounts or changes made outside of business hours. With ADAudit Plus, Waha Capital can monitor changes made to AD, ensuring security and IT compliance. This comes in handy for auditing purposes.
With user behavior analytics, it can easily spot behavioral anomalies by swiftly identifying actions deviating from normal access patterns. It can also track privileged user accesses to data in accordance with IT compliance policies, and instantly detect any accidental or willful violation.
ADAudit Plus provides Waha Capital with numerous intuitive, out-of-the-box reports to monitor the Windows AD and Server environments. The company can choose the various events that it needs reports for to make auditing easier, and can also generate reports for different compliance requirements, which quickly enables Waha Capital to check whether it's compliant. Waha Capital particularly likes the format of the reports since they give the company an overall idea of network events in a single, consolidated view.
