SpyLogix for Active Directory

SpyLogix for Active Directory enables transparency and accountability for local network security provided by Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD). Log management tools alone monitor AD event logs, leaving administrators to manually analyze and manage AD log data. SpyLogix for Active Directory discovers/monitors objects, permissions, and identity data, and makes it easy to audit AD local network access security.

The primary features of the Microsoft® Windows Server family security model are user authentication and access control. Active Directory directory service ensures that administrators can manage these features easily and efficiently.

Along with user authentication, administrators are allowed to control access to resources or objects on the network. To do this, administrators assign security descriptors to objects that are stored in Active Directory. A security descriptor lists the users and groups that are granted access to an object and the specific permissions assigned to those users and groups. A security descriptor also specifies the various access events to be audited for an object. Examples of objects include users, groups, files, printers, and services. By managing properties on objects, administrators can set permissions, assign ownership, and monitor user access.
