Complete visibility into changes, data access and data usage on file servers

Identify your most significant risks and close those gaps first

By combining Netwrix Auditor with Netwrix Data Classification, you can know exactly what types of sensitive data are stored on your file servers, where that data is located, who has access rights to it and how it’s being used. Review this information regularly with the Windows file server auditing tool from Netwrix.

Maintain access to data at the least-privilege level

To reduce the impact of security incidents, you need to regularly right-size user access rights to data shares. But how can IT pros do that, since they don’t know who should have what access? With file share auditing software from Netwrix, you can unburden your IT team and delegate this task to data owners.
