ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
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.
