The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards highlight organizations, products, and professionals who set new standards in information security—and we’re honored to have won the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award in the Identity and Access Management category.
IAM has evolved beyond managing users and passwords—it’s now a cornerstone of enterprise security in a perimeterless world. Many IAM solutions focus on either identity management or security intelligence—but rarely both. Some excel at managing identities but lack real-time risk assessment, while others provide strong authentication but fall short in continuous access governance.The challenge isn’t just managing who gets access—it’s continuously verifying that access is appropriate, secure, and risk-aware.
ManageEngine AD360: IAM that adapts as you grow
AD360 takes a holistic approach, ensuring that access is not only granted, but also actively monitored and intelligently adjusted based on risk.
Companies across industries use AD360 to simplify IAM and improve security. Explore how they did it.
Audatex: Located in India
Industry: Information technology and services
Company size: 5,001-10,000 employees
Audatex’s IT team struggled with tracking changes in Active Directory (AD)—a critical task for preventing unauthorized access and ensuring compliance. Security logs were cumbersome, making it difficult to identify who created, modified, or deleted accounts. With AD360’s real-time AD change auditing, these challenges disappeared. Instead of sifting through complex logs, IT admins now receive clear reports detailing every critical change along with instant alerts for anomalies.
Science Museum: Located in the United Kingdom
Industry: Education
Company size: 3,000+ employees
For the Science Museum, delays in user provisioning were a major hurdle. Before AD360, setting up a new employee in the organization’s network took up to three days, requiring IT teams to manually create accounts, wait for Microsoft 365 syncs, and assign licenses. The result was often backlogs, inefficiencies, and frustrated users. After implementing AD360’s automated identity life cycle management, account creation is realized in under 30 seconds, ensuring employees gain access and can become productive for the organization on their first day.
UAE University: Located in the United Arab Emirates
Industry: Education
Company size: 1,001-5,000 employees
UAE University faced a different challenge—credential management. With thousands of students and faculty members, password resets became a constant burden on its IT team. Before deploying AD360, the IT team handled at least 15 password reset tickets every day. After enabling self-service password reset and MFA, that number dropped to almost zero, significantly improving productivity and reducing IT workload.
East Kent Hospitals: Located in the United Kingdom
Industry: Healthcare/pharmaceutical
Company size: 3,000+ employees
For East Kent Hospitals, security was the top priority. Inaccurate data entry and inactive accounts posed serious compliance risks. AD360’s template-based user management and automation solved these issues by enforcing structured, error-free data entry and automatically managing inactive accounts. As a result, the hospital streamlined onboarding, improved security, and eliminated manual errors in its IT processes.
More than access: Secure and accountable identity management
Beyond identity management, AD360 actively strengthens security and enhances traditional IAM by integrating real-time attack surface analysis, and scanning for vulnerabilities in Active Directory, Azure, and Google Cloud. Instead of just reacting to breaches, it helps organizations identify weaknesses before they become incidents.
Compliance remains a major challenge for many organizations. AD360 simplifies audits with more than 200 preconfigured reports and automatic report generation delivered straight to your inbox, ensuring seamless compliance with the GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, and the PCI DSS.
Flexibility is key in today’s IT ecosystems. That’s why AD360 provides more than 100 out-of-the-box integrations that enable your organization to leverage as many custom integrations as needed. The solution’s open API ensures that enterprises don’t have to adapt to it—it adapts to them.
Experience award-winning IAM in action
AD360 continuously evolves to meet the demands of modern security, ensuring organizations stay ahead of threats while keeping access seamless. See it in action with a personalized demo.
