Automating Auditing of Active Directory and Network Devices at Christchurch Airport

The airport adopted Netwrix Auditor, a solution chosen for its ease of use and ability to translate logs from Active Directory and network devices into actionable reports. The solution provided full control over Active Directory changes, enabling the IT team to monitor every change and keep staff accountable for their actions. The software alerts the team to any instance of privilege elevation, allowing them to take prompt action if the action wasn't authorized and posed a security risk. The solution also included automated rollback functionality to immediately revert critical improper changes. Additionally, the solution enabled continuous auditing of network devices, providing full visibility into configuration changes, logon attempts, scanning threats, and hardware malfunctions on all their Cisco devices. This helped ensure and prove compliance with both internal policies and PCI DSS. Lastly, the solution facilitated prompt investigations, enabling the IT team to conduct security investigations more quickly and efficiently than before.
