IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
StealthBits StealthIntercept is a handy tool to have on your side. We use it to send notifications about the activity that happens within our AD environment. There are reports that assist with identifying breached passwords and brute force attacks, as well as configurable reports to inform you when a user account has been deleted. This has been a handy tool for research when unexpected issues arise.
Pros
- Providing a user-friendly report for user account lock outs.
- A forensic tool for identifying when accounts get deleted.
Cons
- The web based reporting console could more user friendly.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have an environment where there is heavy changes being made to your AD, then this is a great tool to have. Now, if your environment is being managed by one person and has very little change activity, then I would stick with searching the windows log files.
