Quest Change Auditor

Monitoring Active Directory (AD) and hybrid Microsoft environments

 

Change Auditor

Overview

Active Directory continues to be the cornerstone for securing access to business-critical applications. Yet change reporting and vulnerability monitoring for AD is cumbersome, time-consuming, and often impossible using system-provided IT auditing tools. Adopting Azure AD only increases your reliance on Active Directory (AD), while doubling the attack surface and introducing additional opportunities for ransomware and other exploits. This often results in data breaches and insider threats that can go undetected without protections in place. Fortunately, Change Auditor provides real-time threat monitoring and security tracking of all key user activity and administrator changes.

Change Auditor is a complete set of real-time Active Directory auditing tools offering in-depth forensics and security threat monitoring on all key configuration, user and administrator changes in your AD environment. Change Auditor tracks Active Directory changes and detects indicators of compromise (IOCs) across AD and Azure AD to thwart attackers and their attempts to deploy ransomware. Additionally, Change Auditor tracks lateral movement of adversaries across the network and audits suspicious user activity.
