It provides real-time auditing and threat monitoring across Active Directory, Azure AD, Office 365, Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, network-attached storage, SharePoint, and OneDrive for Business. The platform detects indicators of compromise, suspicious user activity, lateral movement, and authentication-related threats that may indicate ransomware or other attacks. Change Auditor can block unauthorized changes to critical groups, Group Policy settings, sensitive mailboxes, and the Active Directory database, even when attackers have obtained privileged credentials. Its auditing engine translates system activity into normalized records showing who made a change, what changed, when and where it occurred, the originating workstation, and before-and-after values.
