Operating System Security Hardening Software
Ensure that your Windows and Linux system configurations are secure — and stay that way
with Netwrix Change Tracker
Change Tracker has strengthened the level of security & compliance for our Oracle, Windows & Linux teams and saves us all a lot of time during audits since it automates compliance reporting for us.

Attackers are constantly looking for weaknesses in your IT systems to exploit for their malicious purposes. To minimize your attack surface, you must ensure that your operating systems are configured according to established security standards — and that they remain that way.
Getting to a fully hardened state can be a tedious and time-consuming process, since it often requires properly specifying literally hundreds of settings. And maintaining a secure configuration can be just as challenging, since any change, such as a software update or change to permissions, can instantly shift the operating system into an insecure state.
Netwrix Change Tracker will help you configure your Windows and Linux operating systems according to best practices and maintain that secure state with context-based change control.
Harden configurations faster
Take the drudgery and guesswork out of hardening critical systems with customizable build templates for multiple standards, including CIS benchmarks, DISA STIGs and SCAP/OVAL.
Know exactly what to do and why
Get detailed descriptions of weaknesses and the rationale behind hardening recommendations in plain English, complete with all the necessary remediation commands and settings.
Make sure systems stay secure
Review a complete history of all changes to see exactly which systems were modified, when the change happened, who executed it and whether the change is suspicious.
Assess your security posture at a glance
Be confident that your infrastructure and sensitive information are safe by checking the status of your security and compliance posture at any time.
Simplify compliance auditing
Have all the evidence your auditors could wish for at your fingertips. Instantly run any of 250+ CIS‑certified reports covering NIST, PCI DSS, CMMC, STIG and NERC CIP.
CIS Benchmarks Included for All Operating Systems
Netwrix is one of a handful of CIS Certified Vendors. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is the number one authority for secure configuration guidance. CIS benchmarks are recognized as the industry standard for system hardening and vulnerability mitigation, and Netwrix Change Tracker includes a full range of CIS benchmark hardening reports at no extra cost.

There are some tools that do well on Linux and some that do well on Windows, but not both like Change Tracker does. The continuous monitoring and alerting and the fact Change Tracker supports the broadest range of operating systems are key propositions for us.
