Case Study: Edinburgh Napier University achieves proactive security and streamlined auditing with LepideAuditor Suite (Lepide)

Edinburgh Napier University - Customer Case Study

Edinburgh Napier University, a public university in Scotland with over 18,000 students, faced the ongoing challenge of managing a constantly changing user base as students enrol and leave each year. Manual auditing proved too reactive and time-consuming, making it difficult to track critical system changes, access rights, file and folder activities and to answer who, what, where and when for Active Directory, Group Policy and SQL Server changes; they also needed reliable auditing of logons and AD object changes plus in-depth reports and real-time alerts.

After evaluating three options, Napier implemented LepideAuditor Suite, which delivered before-and-after change values, extensive reporting, threshold alerting, readable subscribed reports and a secure web console for delegated reporting. Lepide’s competitive site licensing, responsive 24x7 deployment support and strong performance met their requirements; as a result the university now has a more secure, better-monitored environment and improved systems management and compliance readiness.
