Case Study: AppRiver achieves tighter Active Directory control and dramatically reduced auditing time with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

AppRiver Enhances Control over Active Directory While Significantly Reducing Auditing Time

AppRiver, a global SaaS security provider with more than 53,000 customers and over 10 million mailboxes, needed tighter control over its Active Directory to meet high security expectations. With over 250 users across six domains and multiple data centers, manually auditing privileges and group memberships was slow and error-prone, leaving the environment vulnerable to internal and external threats.

After deploying Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory, AppRiver gained detailed visibility, alerting and reporting that automated privilege checks and monthly reviews. The solution helped enforce least-privilege, clean up inactive and erroneous accounts, detect incidents faster, and even rollback accidental deletions in minutes—significantly reducing auditing time, minimizing downtime, and lowering security risk.
