Challenge
  • Ensure the security and availability of Exchange Online.
  • Detect rogue actors before a data breach occurs.
  • Get ready for OCC audits faster.

Netwrix Auditor does not only gather all the data we need for internal audits, but also enables us to speed up the entire process by taking the usual 2–3 hour timeframe down to 30 minutes.”

Netwrix Solution

Cody Lavallee chose Netwrix Auditor because of its ease of use, intuitive interface and the broad coverage of systems. He also found platform's reporting capabilities extremely useful.

  • Visibility into Exchange Online. Cody gets clear insights into activity across Exchange Online, such as changes to user properties, group permissions and server rules and mailbox access attempts. Once he caught an external actor who got access to a mailbox and changed the rules to delete all email replies. Netwrix Auditor alerted him to that, so he locked things down immediately and prevented system disruptions.
  • Detection of suspicious behavior. Cody especially values User Behavior and Blind Spot Analysis reports, which enable him to see trends in failed activity and detect signs of account compromise or insider misuse. The software also alerts him to mass data removals and file modifications, which can indicate a ransomware attack in progress.
  • Short and effective internal audits. Netwrix Auditor automates monitoring of the IT environment and provides unbiased information for successful OCC compliance. Cody quickly finds any information his team needs for internal audits, e.g. what changes were made in Active Directory, or who was the last to access the mailbox or file share.
