Windows file server monitoring
Manually tracking file access (or access attempts) across Windows Servers and cloud storage is painful and takes time. FileAudit makes it easy to see what’s happening to your sensitive data, live.
Audited access events
See a comprehensive, centralized, and sortable list of access events (or access attempts) to paths you have selected.
Read, write, delete, rename accesses
Permission modifications
File ownership changes

Machine name
Exact file access tracking by IP address and machine name
Monitor exactly where in the network the user has accessed (or attempted to access) a file or folder from. For each access event, FileAudit displays both the specific machine (client) name and IP address to pinpoint the placement.

If an access is performed directly on the machine hosting the file/folder, the name of the process generating the access attempt is displayed.
Any specific IP address or machine name can also be filtered on, used as a reporting criteria, or chosen to trigger an alert.
Granular detail helps strengthen user identification and hold users accountable. Potentially risky file access events, like a user accessing a sensitive file from a different computer, are now easy to spot.
Quickly get key insights into file activity
When monitoring file activity, simply click on any user, file, or folder to view all events from the past 4 weeks. See usage stats, deletions, and access denials.

Save time with powerful filtering capabilities
Filter file access events by specific criteria to focus on the insights that matter. FileAudit helps you quickly find the answers you need, with minimal effort.
You can also print or export filtered views, and save filter configurations as XML files for easy reuse in future audits.

Work smarter with real time monitoring
Real-time monitoring doesn't place unnecessary overhead on the server.
Native Windows auditing and other agent-less tools consume significant resources on the file servers. FileAudit's live monitoring doesn't impose additional storage requirements on the file server, helping avoid potential performance problems.
Once a path is set to audit, all access events are detected, displayed, and saved into a database in real-time.

It’s a solution that works and it’s so easy to use, a drunk person could use it at 2:00am and not get confused by it. (IS Decisions editor: we don't recommend trying this) ”
