Detailed Active Directory Login History for Security and Compliance

Auditing user logons in Active Directory is essential for ensuring the security of your data. For instance, knowing the Active Directory last logon date for each user can help you identify stale Active Directory accounts whose last logons were a long time ago. Regularly review of these stale accounts is critical because a malicious actor who gains access to one of them could disrupt business processes, leak sensitive data and damage the reputation of your company. Moreover, in addition to its critical role in security, logon auditing is also a major requirement of most IT compliance regulations.

Getting AD computer and user last logon information and more natively

The Active Directory last logon time of users is not the only information critical for security and compliance. For example, if an AD computer's last logon happened a long time ago, the machine that has been out of use with an enabled account, is a prime target for use as a base for malicious activity inside your AD. However, using Active Directory's built-in tools, these important details — and indeed even the simplest who, when and where data — is hard to get, leaving you with limited visibility into logon activity.
