Identity change auditing and rollback is Commvault’s capability for monitoring data security-related Active Directory changes and reversing unwanted ones from a unified timeline. It helps teams investigate faster, contain risky changes, and return identity services to a trusted state without full-environment recovery. How can identity change auditing and rollback help stop threats? Identity change auditing helps stop threats by continuously monitoring and surfacing suspicious Active Directory activity so teams can investigate sooner. Teams can identify potentially malicious changes, understand their context, and roll back unwanted changes before they spread. What details are captured for each change? Audit trails show who made a change, what changed, when it happened, where it originated, and the values before and after. This context supports faster investigation and informed response. How do change auditing and rollback work together? Change auditing and rollback work together to continuously monitor identity changes and deliver detailed audit trails that help identify unwanted changes. Teams can then rollback unwanted changes, connecting investigation and remediation within the same workflow. --- Take the next step ## Request a demo See how Commvault helps you monitor, detect, and reverse unwanted identity changes.
