Use case
A data protection solution
Smarter cyber attacks and more stringent regulations mean a data protection solution has never been more important. With FileAudit, better secure access to data, wherever it’s stored.
File access is at the core of data protection
Unchecked access to files and folders leaves companies at risk from theft, alteration to, or deletion of sensitive data. Preventing unauthorized access is what makes data protection possible.
Most data lives in corporate file servers, shared drives, databases, office documents, or files. Files and data transfer operations are a prime target in data breaches.
Files often contain high-value data, such as credit card information, health records, intellectual property, or personal information on customers and employees. That makes files a clear priority for data protection.
Protect data across on-premises and cloud storage
Hybrid infrastructures can make it hard to get a single, accurate view of all data access.

Four ways FileAudit helps with data protection
It's simple: to steal or modify data, attackers must access the files they wish to compromise.
With FileAudit, there's a smarter way to detect, respond to, and even stop unauthorized access to sensitive data.
)
)
Monitor the access to and usage of sensitive data
Get live visibility on who accesses protected data, when, and from where, across your entire hybrid environment, including Windows servers and cloud storage providers.
)
)
Detect and alert on potential data breaches
Detect threats early with alerts on unusual activity. Set up real-time alerts for access frequency, mass data access, time of access, and endpoint location.
)
)
Stop a data breach with an automated response
Respond to suspicious behavior quickly without waiting for an IT administrator to intervene. Configure predefined or custom PowerShell scripts to run after an alert is triggered. An automated response can stop the threat before any damage is done.
)
)
Analyze accurate IT forensics
Review accurate, detailed logs of live and historical file access events. FileAudit automatically archives all file activity events in a central database, so you can quickly see who accessed (or attempted to access) data, changed file ownership, modified permissions, and when it happened.
