Major new release of leading change and configuration auditing platform

"The avalanche of recent security breaches and compliance violations at major retailers, healthcare organisations and hotel chains, clearly indicates that traditional security mechanisms such as firewalls, IDS and antivirus, should no longer be treated as the only line of defence against external attackers and insider threats," said Michael Fimin, CEO, Netwrix. "Having visibility into what is happening inside your IT systems is critical to mitigate security breaches. The new version of Netwrix Auditor now provides complete visibility into the entire IT infrastructure with one single view, so you no longer need to involve different point solutions from several vendors."
With Enterprise Overview dashboards, Netwrix Auditor 6.0 gives a high-level overview of changes across all audited systems to show activity trends by date, user, server or IT system; along with detailed drill-down capabilities for every change. The system will also aggregate change events across all types of audited systems such as Active Directory, File Servers and SharePoint, into one single view.

Netwrix Auditor 6.0 provides comprehensive support for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, with visibility into farm configuration and security changes, including modifications to permissions and permission inheritance, SharePoint group membership, permission levels and security policies. Reports can be generated automatically on creation, deletion and modification of any SharePoint content, including sites, lists and libraries, folders, documents and list items. A further 25 other new features in Netwrix Auditor 6.0 also enhance scalability, performance and usability.

Netwrix Auditor provides the detection of security incidents, continuous compliance, vulnerability assessment and forensic analysis. Netwrix Auditor also improves business continuity, enables root cause analysis and change management, decreases system downtime and establishes accountability. Featuring change auditing and alerting, configuration assessment and hundreds of predefined web-based reports with rich filtering, Netwrix Auditor also offers export and subscription capabilities and change rollback. The efficient enterprise-grade architecture consolidates audit data from multiple independent sources with agentless or lightweight, non-intrusive agent-based modes of operation and scalable, two-tiered storage holding consolidated audit data for 10 years or more.
