Netwrix Change Tracker
Visibility into file-system and permission changes for investigation and review.
"Used when teams need recorded visibility of file and permission changes on Windows file servers and network shares."
Monitor and record file-system and permission changes
Untracked changes to files, folders and permissions create visibility gaps on Windows file servers and network shares. Those gaps make investigations slow and increase operational and security risk.
Netwrix Change Tracker monitors and records changes to files, folders, network shares and permissions, and generates reports of detected change events. That captured data gives teams the visibility they need to review changes and investigate incidents.
Where Netwrix Change Tracker is used
Monitor file-system changes and permission modifications on Windows file servers and network shares to identify what changed and when.
Use generated reports and recorded change events to support investigations, review access changes, and provide an evidential trail for internal teams and regulators.
