Auditor for Windows File Servers provides actionable security intelligence about all changes made to files, folders, shares and permissions; file access auditing; data discovery and classification; and file analysis reporting for improved data security and information management. The following are some of the features:
File share auditing : Makes it easy to track changes to your file servers by delivering insightful information about who changed what, and when and where each change was made.
File access auditing : Helps you exercise control over data access attempts by reporting on both successful and failed read attempts across multiple Windows-based file servers and shares.
Control over data access rights : Empowers you to quickly identify who has access to which files and folders, as well as spot overexposed data. You can also easily compare the current state of effective permissions to any point in the past.
Threshold-based alerts : Alerts you whenever there have been too many file modifications or failed access attempts in a short period of time so you can quickly respond to a ransomware attack or suspicious insider activity.
File analysis reports : Delivers detailed information on data ownership, reveals data usage and data volumes, and identifies stale and duplicate files, helping you improve data management processes.
User Behavior and Blind Spot Analysis : Provides security intelligence about file and folder activity, including access to archived data and data access outside business hours, which might otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Non-intrusive architecture : Collects audit data without the use of agents, so it does not interfere with system processes and performance or cause any system downtime.
Data discovery and classification : Enables a sensitive file audit by providing information about what types of sensitive data you have, where it is located, who has access to this data and how it’s used.
Performing Windows file auditing helps detect leaks and unauthorized modifications of sensitive data. Netwrix Auditor for Windows File Servers automates file server auditing and reporting, thereby mitigating the risk of compliance failures and problems with the integrity, availability and confidentiality of data.
