Solutions of this type provide capabilities to monitor, record, and analyze changes made within a Windows Server Active Directory environment. These tools track modifications to users, groups, organizational units, group policies, and other Active Directory objects. For example, the solution can detect when a new user account is created with elevated privileges or when a user’s group membership is altered, granting them access to sensitive resources.
Maintaining the security and integrity of an Active Directory environment is crucial for organizational security. These solutions provide detailed audit trails, enabling administrators to quickly identify unauthorized changes, investigate security incidents, and comply with regulatory requirements. Historically, manually tracking these changes was time-consuming and prone to errors, making automated solutions essential for efficient and reliable monitoring.
