Audit Logon Events
Keep track of logon and logoff events with a centralized logon audit events monitor
Optimize your Active Directory logon audit efficiency
Windows Active Directory (AD) is important for coordinating security group management across servers, but doesn’t offer all the features admins need. Make sense of security log data more easily with SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM). This audit logon tool can allow admins to search for specific logon/logoff activity and monitor relevant event logs for unusual user account activity.
Logon data is a central issue for identifying insider threats, since unusual logon events (and logoff events) can signal an anomaly in password-protected activity. With SEM, admins can view and change computer configurations within a centralized interface to better manage security settings for Active Directory, including Windows settings security, and privileged access settings.
Use an intuitive interface to keep track of logon activity
Windows Active Directory is critical for configuring secure access to server data, but AD only goes so far in actively displaying and managing the activities of various users and groups. Admins need a straightforward interface to track user account settings and audit logon events.
SolarWinds SEM is built with an intuitive interface that includes searchable fields and interactive graphics, which allows you to more easily filter and manage AD instead of spending time manually sifting through its contents. Easily view different categories of security activity, like object access, policy change, and logon data, and get the custom charts you need to support streamlining security and compliance policies audits.
Help secure your server with privileged access management
Privileged access management is a crucial security strategy that involves monitoring logon and logoff events to help reveal when a user is accessing data improperly and potentially posing a business risk. Conducting logon audits can also help support improving the system security with better transparency into user access data.
With SEM, you can easily audit logon events in AD to flag unusual logons. Get insight into information like date, time, username, and activity. SolarWinds SEM also includes an alert feature that can notify you about suspicious logon and logoff events, complete with automated security responses to disable bad actors, so you can better mitigate and prevent potential cybersecurity breaches by detecting and addressing malicious activity before it happens.
Report audit logon data in a variety of standardized formats
Compiling and sharing log data is a necessary requirement for many industry-specific security log audits. If you need to demonstrate compliance with regulations like HIPAA, SOX, DISA STIG, or others, you’ll likely need to perform regular, thorough event log audits.
SolarWinds SEM is designed to help users audit logon events, so they can more easily demonstrate compliance with a wide range of standards. For logon audits, SEM has a number of useful out-of-the-box authentication reports that can list authentications tracked by SEM, such as user logon, logoff, failed logon attempts, guest logons, logons by monitored devices, and more.
With SEM, you can also easily schedule these built-in or customized reports to automatically run and send reports to the correct recipients.
