Operational security for its Active Directory — Hornbach audits AD using Cygna Auditor
Hornbach
With a net turnover of about 5.5 billion Euros and over 23,000 employees, Hornbach Baumarkt AG is one of the largest home improvement chains in Europe. Just over half of its turnover comes from Germany. Europe-wide, Hornbach operates 167 large home and garden centers and two specialty stores, with a total retail space of almost 2 million square meters, with many of the properties owned by the Hornbach Group. Measured by turnover, Hornbach in Germany is the third largest operator of home improvement centers, by turnover per market or per square meter of retail space, they are number one.

Challenge
Like all companies of this size, Hornbach is dependent on comprehensive, and above all reliable, IT support for its daily operations. Merchandise management, logistics and other core functions are not the only challenges. Services are therefore ranked very high.
The central nervous system of IT at Hornbach is the Active Directory (AD) of Microsoft which administers all IT objects such as users, groups, applications or devices as a directory service, and which allows administrators to control access to resources through the issuance and management of access rights. Employees should possess targeted access rights which they actually require to perform their jobs. This also applies to the administrators.

“Switching to Cygna Diamond IP has greatly simplified IP address management for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.”
Ken Rudolph
Network Engineer at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
“Diamond IP is the key to centralizing IP management. Before the integration there were errors, duplication of allocations, no accountability, and unnecessary delays. That’s simply not the case now.”
