NetWrix File Server Change Reporter

Overview

File server auditing is a critical requirement for organisations that rely on file servers to store their documents and network applications. Unauthorised and accidental changes in files and folder structure, permissions, file shares, and other objects can significantly impact your users and infrastructure by facilitating data theft and security threats. Native file system auditing lacks many important features and doesn't have reporting capabilities.

Powered by AuditAssurance™ technology, NetWrix File Server Change Reporter audits and reports file server changes and access events. The product generates reports on changes and access to file servers, including changes and access attempts to files, folders, shares, and permissions. The product is available in Freeware and Enterprise editions. The Enterprise edition provides additional information about who made the change or who accessed what and when it occurred, including detailed information about permission changes.

NetWrix file server auditing software can help with the following tasks:

Monitoring day-to-day modifications to mitigate the risks associated with delegated administration
Proactively reporting data loss and unauthorised user activity.
Enforcing compliance with regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and others.
Archiving all changes to help with the investigation of changes made months and years ago (Enterprise edition only)

The product can be installed separately, but also is available as a part of an integrated NetWrix Change Reporter Suite that automates auditing of the entire IT infrastructure.]
