Australian College Strengthens Security and Mitigates the Risk of Privilege Misuse

John opted for Netwrix Auditor because it was intuitive and easy to implement. The deployment didn't require extra expenses and provided John with all the necessary features for continuous control over critical changes and data access. 

• Validation of internal controls. John uses Netwrix Auditor to monitor activities of privileged users, including internal staff and contractors, and identify activities that do not comply with internal policies. He uses automatic custom email reports and real-time alerts to stay notified about all critical changes in AD and GPOs and, if necessary, address questions directly to the person responsible for the modification.
• Timely detection and troubleshooting of unauthorized changes. Netwrix Auditor provides high-level overview of all critical changes made by privileged users, which enables John to quickly detect and react to suspicious activities, e.g. adding a user to a domain admins group without approval. John uses reports with details about who changed what, when and where with before and after values to prove to College management that there has been no activity that could compromise cyber security.
