Top 7 Features of ADAudit Plus for Windows Server Security

1. Real-time Change Auditing

Monitors and records changes in Active Directory objects (users, groups, OUs), Group Policy, and schema in real time with details of who, what, when, and where.

2. User Logon and Logoff Tracking

Provides comprehensive logon/logoff reports (interactive, network, remote desktop), including failed logon attempts and suspicious patterns like multiple failed attempts or impossible travel.

3. File Server Auditing

Tracks file and folder access on Windows file servers (create, read, modify, delete) with granular permissions and owner change history, helping detect data exfiltration or unauthorized access.

4. Compliance-ready Reports and Templates

Prebuilt reports mapped to standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, and GDPR; customizable scheduling and export options to simplify audits and evidence collection.

5. Alerting and Correlation Rules

Configurable real-time alerts via email/SMS/console for critical events (privilege escalations, account lockouts, GPO changes) and correlation rules to reduce noise and surface high-risk incidents.

6. Privileged Account Monitoring and Risk Scoring

Identifies and monitors privileged accounts, tracks their activity, and assigns risk scores based on behavior and changes to help prioritize investigations.

7. Distributed Deployment and Scalability

Supports remote collectors and distributed deployment for multi-domain/multi-site environments, with centralized reporting and low performance impact on domain controllers.

If you want, I can expand any feature into specifics (reports, sample alerts, deployment steps) or create a one-page summary for stakeholders.
