Securden Privilege Manager Features

Audit Domain Admin Group Memberships

Unauthorized addition of user accounts to the domain admin groups can be extremely risky for Active Directory environments. When you grant temporary admin access to users, the user can potentially create new admin accounts leveraging the permissions. Even if the user surrenders admin rights, the account they created will still remain a part of the domain admin group.

Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager provides you with complete visibility into changes in domain admin groups across all your Active Directory domains. Keep track of all new accounts added to the group and old ones removed from the group.
