Information Security
Monitoring your data rather than users for appropriate behavior is an alternative strategy to ensure your
sensitive information is protected. Security in the large has always been difficult and with today's compliance
and legislative requirements, answering basic questions such as 'What does Scott have access to in our network'
or 'I want to know everyone who can see the contents of this directory' are very complex problems to solve in
large enterprise networks.
FileCensus with its global reporting on your data profile allows you to quickly answer these complex questions
and improve security by:
- Regularly producing global lists of trustees to fix security configurations before they become incidents.
- Helping to find 'sensitive files' from a single path that have been replicated to another point in the organization - illegally.
- Analyzing file changes in size, date and time information.
- Finding files changes outside of core business hours.
- Finding script vulnerabilities by identifying executables with unusual or incorrect access rights.
- Determining access and copy behaviors by specific users or domain suspects.
- Providing scanning option for desktop and laptop nodes for when computers go missing.
Many of our customers initially purchase FileCensus for one or two features and soon learn that Information
Security monitoring via FileCensus is an unexpected bonus.
