Case Study: Midwest Groundcovers, LLC reduces breach risk and saves hundreds of hours with Netwrix Auditor

Midwest Groundcovers Mitigates the Risk of Security Breaches While Saving Hours of Work

Midwest Groundcovers, LLC is a leading wholesale nursery operating six production sites with a two-person IT team responsible for protecting sensitive customer and corporate data across customized ERP systems. Facing risks from overly broad permissions, stale or forgotten accounts, and potential ransomware, the team needed better visibility and timely alerts to reduce their attack surface and prevent costly breaches.

They deployed Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory, Windows Server and file servers to monitor activity, clean up access rights, enforce least-privilege, detect inactive accounts and trigger alerts on suspicious actions like bulk file changes and failed logins. As a result, the company secured customer and corporate data, reduced the attack surface, ensured system uptime, and saved hundreds of hours on permission analysis and remediation, according to IT manager Steven Kaiser.
