Architecture

This section provides a description of the Cygna Auditing & Security Suite components.

The following figure represents the Auditor components and shows the interactions with Domain Controllers and the SQL Server database.

Server

The server handles the management layers and task engine for the suite.

Agents

Several of the Auditor modules require agents to be deployed to gather real-time information

• Cygna Auditor for Active Directory

• Cygna Auditor for Exchange
• Cygna Auditor for File System
• Cygna Event Vault for Windows

SQL Server

The database stores configuration information and collected data.

Console

The console is used to configure the Auditor settings, set up schedules, and view collected audit and security data.

RSAT Extensions

RSAT extensions are an add-on for Active Directory Users and Computers and other associated native Active Directory management tools. They provide extra actions and information for viewing integrated object activity and audit trail, and performing object rollback and restore.
