On-Premises Exchange

On-premises Exchange remains a critical piece of business infrastructure that provides messaging, task management, and contact management services. Cygna Auditor helps you supervise activity on your on-premises Exchange Server and ensure all security controls are in place and data is protected.

Cygna Auditor tracks activity across your Exchange organization, including changes to mailboxes made by non-owners. The data is presented in a user-friendly format. With Cygna Auditor, you will never miss unauthorized access or changes to mailbox. The product allows auditing up to 2500 mailboxes per Exchange organization with no limits for auditing administrative and configuration events.
