Are you looking to monitor and audit file access and access attempts on your Windows servers or in the Cloud? You’re on the right track — this is the most efficient way to protect your critical data and ensure compliance with industry best practice regulations.
And there isn’t a better tool for this than FileAudit.
Windows and Cloud technologies have transformed the business computing landscape. However, with these advancements come concerns about the security of your data stored on their servers.
Hence, reliable, round-the-clock surveillance of your folders and files in the cloud and on Windows servers is essential.
With an automated interface, FileAudit is the ideal solution to track ‘who did what?’, ‘when?’, and ‘from where?’.
What Is FileAudit?
It’s a tool for monitoring and auditing all files stored by Cloud service providers and those on your on-premise Windows servers.
The latest version — FileAudit 6.10 — offers a hybrid solution with a single consolidated console. This allows you to create reports and alerts for all your sensitive files and folders.
FileAudit is already trusted by hundreds of security-conscious companies globally, including Canon, Total, Honda, Mercedes Benz, and LVMH.
How Will FileAudit Improve Your Monitoring & Auditing Experience?
Firstly, it provides clear and immediate information about files across your organization.
Here are some of the benefits of FileAudit:
- It delivers real-time notifications for predetermined events like denied access and file deletions. The customizable interface allows you to set which actions you should be alerted about.
- It enables you to blacklist and monitor suspicious users. Any unauthorized activity automatically triggers an email to selected recipients.
- With the new version of FileAudit 6.10, you can preset automated reactions in case of malicious transactions.
- Employees and departments across your organization can also receive customized reports based on their specific criteria.
- Perhaps the most significant benefit is the ease of use. It’s so intuitive and straightforward that even non-IT executives and outsourced auditors can easily use it without compromising security protocols. This allows you to delegate monitoring to employees who best understand your auditing system, even if they aren’t IT experts.
