What data can I get?

Critical file storage changes

When auditing NetApp storage devices manually, you can spend a lot of time and effort sifting through cryptic native logs but still fail to find important events, like who removed critical data or modified access rights to it. This NetApp software reports on every critical change made to files, folders, shares, permissions and configurations across your NetApp systems, so you can spot and remediate unwanted modifications before they cause real damage.

Critical file storage changes

Successful and failed access attempts to files and folders

Native logs are noisy and contain so many access events that it's hard to dig out the truly valuable information. This NetApp reporting software from Netwrix empowers you to gain control over user activity by providing actionable reports on both successful and failed access attempts to your data, so you can quickly detect suspicious attempts to access sensitive data.

Effective permissions details

To ensure that your customer data and business-critical documents stay secure, you need to systematically check which users and groups have access to them. With Netwrix, you can quickly review effective permissions to files and folders in your NetApp environment and ensure they are in line with internal policies and the least-privilege principle.

Effective permissions details

Data classification reports

In order to protect your sensitive files and comply with regulatory standards, you need to know what kinds of information is stored in your IT infrastructure, exactly where that data is located, and who has access to it, as well as stay informed about every action that might threaten it. Netwrix Auditor in combination with Netwrix Data Classification identifies the types of sensitive information you store, their location and whether this data is overexposed. Plus, you can quickly check who has access to critical data and get a clear picture of what’s going on around it. Regularly review this information to minimize the risk to data security.

Information on file storage space and usage

Not every NetApp filer storage reporting tool can help you effectively analyze your data structure and usage patterns. File analysis reports from Netwrix deliver information on data ownership, data usage, data volumes, empty folders, and stale and duplicate files, so you can optimize space on your file servers and improve your storage management processes.

How can I use this data?

Assess and mitigate IT risks

Without a 360-degree view of your IT infrastructure, it’s hard to find weak spots. Netwrix Auditor’s Risk Assessment dashboard pinpoints the most critical misconfigurations, such as potentially harmful files stored across your servers, file names that indicate they contain sensitive data or folders with permissions granted to everyone, so you can remediate these IT risks before they result in data leaks.

Assess and mitigate IT risks

Stay current on suspicious activity around data

To maximize data protection, you need to constantly monitor suspicious actions around your sensitive data. For instance, the sooner you spot a ransomware attack, the better your chances of saving most of your critical data. With threshold-based alerting from Netwrix, you’ll be the first to know about critical events, such as when someone is trying to modify too many files at a time, so you can block such attacks before it’s too late.

Improve threat detection across your data storages

If an attack involves a chain of malicious actions stretching across NetApp ONTAP systems, basic alerts might not be enough. Netwrix Auditor provides a unified view of all anomalous activity alerts triggered by an individual across all audited systems and the cumulative risk score so you can spot malicious insiders and compromised accounts — even if they cover their tracks carefully.

Improve threat detection across your data storages

Spot even subtle indicators of compromise and security blind spots

To strengthen the security of your sensitive data, it’s critical to find even subtle signs of account compromise, such as suspicious surges in data access or activity outside business hours. With reports on user behavior and blind spot analysis, you can quickly identify these subtle indicators of threats and remediate them promptly.

Investigate security incidents and troubleshoot issues faster

Whenever you need to investigate a security incident or figure out what caused downtime or performance issues, Netwrix Auditor’s Interactive Search saves you from having to painstakingly dig this information out of native audit logs. Quickly sift through your audit data and get answers, such as who deleted a financial document, who gave excessive permissions to a contractor or exactly how an administrator changed file access permissions. Plus, it’s easy to create custom reports and alerts based on your search criteria to stay aware of similar incidents in the future.

Investigate security incidents and troubleshoot issues faster

Gain a high-level view of anomalous surges in user activity

It’s easy to miss an important piece of information while crawling through the cryptic native logs. To spot unusual surges in user activity, you need a single-pane-of-glass view. Netwrix Auditor’s overview dashboard shows activity by date, along with the users who are most active, the file systems that are most frequently changed and the number of reads compared to the number of changes.

Streamline compliance audit preparation with ready-to-use reports

Even if you meticulously monitor your file servers, it can still be challenging to demonstrate to auditors that you are complying with specific regulatory requirements. With Netwrix, you can forget about spending time creating multiple reports to demonstrate your compliance. Simply provide auditors with ready-to-use compliance reports tailored to PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOX, GLBA, FISMA/NIST and other common regulatory standards, so you can pass compliance audits faster and with less effort.
