Al Qahtani Holding enhances its AD visibility and security using ADAudit Plus

About the Company

Founded by the late Sheikh Abdulhadi Abdullah Al Qahtani in 1948, Al Qahtani Holding (AQH) is an industrial conglomerate based in Saudi Arabia. At present, AQH boasts a diverse brand portfolio that includes beverage production, oil and gas mining, real estate, manufacturing, bottling, and canning.

According to Forbes' list of Top 100 Arab Family Businesses, AQH, with nine companies and 2,000 employees, has partnered with other ventures which include Jordan Ice & Aerated Water Company (PepsiCo Jordan), CemServ, Central Mining Holding, and REFAD Real Estate.

AQH's business challenge

For an establishment that spans across a multitude of sectors, it's important to have a clear and concise overview of the Active Directory (AD) environment. As AD infrastructures are subject to several changes on a daily basis, it's important for IT admins to gain and process event log information with ease. The primary challenges AQH was facing were auditing event logs and ensuring its AD infrastructure was secure.

To solve these challenges, AQH had evaluated several solutions—with Solarwinds being one of them—before it landed on ManageEngine's ADAudit Plus, with its ease of use being a major clincher in this deal.

How ADAudit Plus came to the rescue

Using ManageEngine's ADAudit Plus, security teams can view, monitor, and audit event logs and their volume of occurrence across multiple environments (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid) without using PowerShell scripts. This information is then presented in the form of multiple data visualization formats, such as graphs, charts, and reports, to derive incisive and actionable insights. With ADAudit Plus at the helm, the process of auditing AQH's AD event logs has become easier than before.

"With the help of ADAudit Plus, we get reports stating who had removed that particular user from the respective groups. It has become easier to track group membership changes, who has reset the password, and who has made any changes affecting VIP users."

Additionally, ADAudit Plus leverages user behaviour analytics (UBA) to create baseline identity profiles for users, and sends instant alerts to IT teams whenever the AD environment encounters anomalous user behaviour. According to AQH's Abdullah Marwan, ADAudit Plus delivered better visibility into the AD environment. He also noted that the solution's deployment was easy and cost-effective.

When asked whether ManageEngine's technical support team has been prompt and effective in resolving any questions in regard to the product, Marwan replied with a resounding yes.
