Case Study: The Alaska State Legislature achieves streamlined Active Directory auditing and improved security with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

Streamlined Auditing of a Microsoft Environment Improves Security and Satisfies Auditors

The Alaska State Legislature, the bicameral state legislature of Alaska, faced a critical Active Directory auditing gap: three separate admin groups could make changes but the IT team couldn’t reliably trace who changed what or when. This led to configuration errors, “email storms,” potential security and compliance risks, and an inability to quickly resolve or explain problematic changes.

The Legislature implemented Netwrix Auditor for Active Directory, gaining daily, detailed reports that show the Who, What, When, Where and before/after values for every change. The tool replaced fragile homegrown scripts, made it fast to identify and question the responsible admin, prevented unnecessary rollbacks, improved AD management, satisfied auditors and delivered a rapid ROI.
