This software helps audit changes made in the Active Directory of an organization.
Active Directory is a vital software installation in any organization. Larger organizations have more complex needs of managing the AD. Management of users, their privileges and all the configuration details makes this quite a complex issue. Changes need to be tracked to make sure changes made are proper. More than anything else, one needs to make sure the security is not compromised. There is often a threat from internal user population, somebody making a mistake and making malicious changes is an ever present threat. This tool can track changes made to the AD. Things like who made the changes, what changes were made, when were they made and whether the person is authorized, etc. can be recorded by the tool. You will always have complete details so that they can be checked any time there is a need.
Auditing Active Directory changes are important from the point of establishing compliance, in addition. Maintaining security and efficient working of communications being the other reasons you would want to audit the directory. Security compliance to government policies as well as internal security policies are managed easily. Meticulous audit of Active Directory will enable you to detect any attempted security breach, track a user access and identify potential security soft-spots. The native audit tool is not able to handle all the needs of an organization. The security logs created are complex and difficult to comprehend. In case of a multi-domain forest, AD change logs may be scattered across multiple domains. Log management can become difficult in such situations. This is a very good tool.
