Use Exchange event logs to identify security issues based on customizable thresholds

Microsoft Exchange event logs allow you to identify any unusual activity within your Microsoft Exchange server in order to prevent compromised security. Manually checking Exchange event logs can lead to downtime and human error. With SolarWinds^® Security Event Manager (SEM), you can automatically identify which event logs are showing a Critical or Warning status, and have customizable alerts sent straight to your inbox. By automating your Exchange event log monitoring, you can manage your Exchange server as quickly and as effectively as possible.

Monitor Azure Active Directory to manage credentials and prevent unwanted access

The Microsoft Exchange server is linked to your Azure Active Directory, which manages your Exchange access credentials. For a comprehensive security solution, SEM monitors your web-based AAD server alongside your Exchange server. AAD monitoring with SEM allows you to automatically track user activity, login history, privilege structures and changes, and more. A unified AAD and Exchange monitoring solution helps you to prevent a cyber attacker from accessing the Exchange server using AAD credentials—all from your unified SEM control center.

The Microsoft Exchange Server allows your enterprise to send and receive messages, share documents, collaborate on calendar events, and handle other tasks allowing your employees to communicate effectively. Exchange Server security is a constant endeavor since your business will regularly add and remove users, experience new logins, change privilege credentials, and revise admin policies. All of these activities, and more, are recorded by Microsoft Exchange logs.

Microsoft Event logs keep track of activity from your Exchange Server. More specifically, event logs help to identify unusual activity based on variation from data trends. Event logs are the main way to identify privileged security threats and to protect your Exchange Server from insider attack. Maintaining a secure Exchange Server requires your IT admin team to collect event logs from your Exchange Server, and to address any security threats based on unusual activity.

Your Microsoft Exchange log file viewer provides a helpful way of managing logs, with clear signals to differentiate “Warning” events from “Critical” events. Though these preconfigured event log features help with security management, they still require IT admins to manually check the logs on their own time. The purpose of an automated event log monitor, like SolarWinds SEM, is to automatically monitor these Exchange event logs to provide alerts and statistics on your centralized security monitoring software, so you can respond to unusual activity when it occurs.

Because Microsoft Exchange hosts all of your most important business communications, maintaining a secure Exchange Server is paramount to your overall cybersecurity. The Microsoft Exchange Server is a web-based server hosted in the cloud
A cyber attacker can take advantage of vulnerabilities in your Exchange Server to access sensitive communications using privileged access. To manage credentials and passwords, Azure Active Directory management software allows you to track sign-ins, changes to credentials, and other signs of immediate tampering with your server. But AAD is only responsible for credentialing and privilege management, and it doesn’t track activity within your Exchange Server.
To identify privileged security threats in your Exchange Server, event logs provide crucial data. Event logs are a built-in feature of your Exchange Server allowing you to identify unusual security events, and to assess their severity. Event logs are the most effective way to identify privileged user threats, since a cyber attacker will likely operate with a pattern different from your regular Exchange users.
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) allows you to identify unusual events quickly and accurately. As a Microsoft Exchange log analyzer, SEM collects Exchange event log data using an out-of-the-box plugin and provides real-time alerts when a security event occurs. With automated alerting for Warning and Critical events, you can address threats to your Exchange Server when they occur.
SEM offers much more than just alerting based on event log data. With SEM’s Exchange event log analyzer, you can:
Track Microsoft Exchange email activity
Audit administrator activity
Automatically monitor policy and rule changes
Permanently purge deleted files
And more

For a holistic approach to Exchange security management, SEM also allows you to monitor AAD credential changes from your unified SolarWinds control center.
