Case Study: Prysmian Group ensures hybrid Active Directory security with Quest's On Demand Audit Hybrid Suite

Multinational company ensures hybrid Active Directory security

Prysmian Group, a global leader in cable manufacturing with roughly 29,000–30,000 employees and operations in more than 50 countries, faced a complex challenge: securing data and ensuring system availability across hundreds of locations and a hybrid Active Directory environment. Large acquisitions (notably General Cable) and disparate native and bespoke auditing tools left IT without the visibility, control and governance needed to track who did what, prevent disruptive changes, and coordinate geographically dispersed teams.

Prysmian implemented On Demand Audit Hybrid Suite by Quest (integrating Change Auditor and cloud audit capabilities) to centralize, correlate and visualize activity across on‑premises AD and cloud services. The solution delivered real‑time visibility and alerts, object protection to prevent harmful AD changes, delegated access and easy reports for nontechnical stakeholders, faster migration and consolidation projects, consistent PC/configuration enforcement worldwide, reduced downtime and simplified compliance with long‑term audit retention.
