Case Study: Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council reduces security blind spots with Netwrix Auditor

Regional Council Eliminates Security Blind Spots and Reduces the Likelihood of a Breach

Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, a fast-growing government organization serving 56,000+ residents in New South Wales, needed to replace manual IT auditing with automated change tracking across its infrastructure. The understaffed IT team, working with Netwrix Auditor from Netwrix, wanted better visibility into critical changes such as Active Directory modifications and a faster way to respond to potential security threats.

Netwrix implemented Netwrix Auditor to centralize audit data across Active Directory, Exchange, VMware, and Windows Server. As a result, the Council gained full control over changes, detected suspicious activity sooner, and improved staff accountability; Bevan Hussey said he could now pull reports and provide answers within half an hour, and the solution helped reduce the likelihood of overlooking important security events.
