ADAudit Plus enhances the security and compliance of your Windows Server environment by delivering comprehensive insights into all operational activities. It offers a detailed overview of modifications made to Active Directory (AD) resources, encompassing AD objects and their respective attributes, group policies, and more. By conducting thorough AD audits, organizations can identify and mitigate insider threats, misuse of privileges, and other signs of potential security breaches, thereby bolstering their overall security framework. The tool enables users to monitor intricate details within AD, including entities such as users, computers, groups, organizational units (OUs), group policy objects (GPOs), schemas, and sites, along with their associated attributes. Furthermore, it tracks user management activities like the creation, deletion, password resets, and alterations in permissions, providing insights into the actions taken, the responsible individuals, the timing, and the originating locations. Additionally, it allows organizations to monitor the addition or removal of users from security and distribution groups, ensuring that access privileges are kept to the necessary minimum, which is critical for maintaining a secure environment. This level of oversight is vital for proactive security management and compliance adherence.

Thanks to the cloud-based architecture and user-friendly interface of InsightIDR, you can effortlessly consolidate and examine your data from various sources like logs, networks, and endpoints, yielding insights in hours instead of months. The platform incorporates User and Attacker Behavior Analytics, supplemented by information from our threat intelligence network, to ensure that all your data is monitored for early detection and response to potential attacks. In the year 2017, a staggering 80% of breaches related to hacking were attributed to the use of either stolen passwords or weak, easily guessable ones. This highlights that while users can be your most valuable asset, they can also pose significant risks. InsightIDR leverages machine learning technology to establish a baseline for user behavior, providing automatic alerts whenever there is suspicious activity, such as the utilization of stolen credentials or unusual lateral movement across the network. Additionally, this proactive approach allows organizations to strengthen their security posture by continuously adapting to emerging threats.
