At Lepide, we know the cost of an unwanted change made in the Group Policies. Such changes have to be detected and reversed before it is too late. The inbuilt alerting mechanism lets you execute your own custom script to perform any automated action. For example, if a software restriction policy has been changed, you can execute a script to re-enable it or you can disable the user who has changed it. The inbuilt Object Restoration feature lets you restore the entire Group Policy Object to a previous ideal state.

Audit Changes in Software Restriction Policies

Software restriction policies are used to block users from installing unwanted software applications; including ransomware or malware. If any such policy is modified, the chances for installation of unwanted applications, especially a malware, are increased greatly. Our Group Policy Auditor tracks all changes made to software restriction policies and notifies you in real time.
