Ensure Security and Minimize Risk with Active Directory Change Monitoring

The Challenges of Active Directory Change Monitoring Across Multiple Microsoft Platforms

As cyberattacks like ransomware and insider threats rise, it’s vital to monitor changes across Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID comprehensively. Traditional methods like security or event logs are insufficient, as they leave blind spots and are often targeted by attackers. Microsoft’s native auditing tools and legacy Active Directory change monitoring systems have many limitations, making it difficult to easily track and audit Active Directory changes. They often miss critical changes, especially those replicated from on-premises to the cloud, increasing vulnerability to attacks.

Cayosoft’s advanced auditing and threat detection offer real-time, unified Active Directory change monitoring across AD, Entra ID, and Office 365, surpassing traditional logs and SIEM tools. It alerts instantly and allows for manual or automatic reversal of unwanted changes. Adopting Cayosoft could be crucial in preventing security incidents or mitigating the effects of breaches.

Hybrid Change Visibility

Native methods and traditional tools lack the ability to easily track changes made across on-premises and cloud.

Streamlined Threat Detection

Disparate systems and tools make hybrid operations complex, making it difficult to identify and quickly resolve threats.

Automated Change Rollback

Cyberattacks and outages disrupt business operations. Swift action must be taken to identify and remediate malicious changes.

Why is Active Directory Change Monitoring Critical?

$1.8M+
