InTrust for Active Directory

转自http://www.quest.com/intrust-for-active-directory/

InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory allows organizations to track, store, alert, and report on domain controller activity and the details of changes made to Active Directory and Group Policy.

Audit and Control Changes in Active Directory and Group Policy

InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory provides comprehensive, detailed, real-time auditing of all changes to ADAD and Group Policy Objects (GPOGPOs), including changes to ADAD configuration, mailbox permissions and GPOGPO settings. InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory provides all the information behind important changes, including who made the change, where they made the change from - and the before and after values. Operationally, administrators can troubleshoot ADAD problems and reverse any changes if necessary, or for the most sensative areas can have this done automatically through action-enabled alerts. By allowing administrators to track changes to ADAD security and policy and show how the changes have strayed from the approved configuration, organizations can address ITIT compliance requirements.

In addition to tracking all changes to ADAD and GPOGPOs, InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory provides protection against changes to the most critical ADAD objects, such as organizational units (OUOUs) being accidentally deleted and GPOGPO settings being modified. InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory can immediately notify you of unwanted changes, take automatic action against undesired changes, and even prevent changes to the most vulnerable objects from occurring.

Comprehensive Activity Tracking for Active Directory

 

InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory audits all events on domain controllers, including unusual user and suspicious administrator activity, elevated privileges, and adherence to security best practices. By providing efficient collection and storage of audit data, InTrust Plug-in for Active Directory enables organizations to effectively react to policy violations, ensuring that established security best practices and internal policies are maintained.

Filling the Gap in Exchange Auditing

Exchange is first and foremost an e-mail server, and when e-mail servers were first designed, no one foresaw the massive dependence that would develop between organizations and their e-mail servers. Today 60% of organizations process revenue-generating orders via e-mail and approximately 75% of corporate intellectual property is being transmitted via e-mail.

Without accurate tracking of Exchange mailbox activity, organizations find it difficult to react to administrative and security-policy violations, which affect their ability to ensure compliance.  Organizations can incur lost productivity and system downtime if faced with undetected, undesired changes to critical objects in Exchange. Without awareness of changes to critical objects, such as who made the change and the before and after values, organizations cannot efficiently address unwanted change.

In this case, the gap is filled with the InTrust Plug-in for Exchange. Register now for this live event.
