Identify hidden access risks

From dormant accounts to privilege creep and conflicting access rights, Netwrix discovers identity risks before they become breaches.

Apply policy-based controls

Define rules for segregation of duties (SoD), entitlement conflicts, inactive identities, and automatically enforce or remediate them with automated SoD enforcement.

Remediate identity risks

Automatically surface, prioritize, and act on identity risks so your security team can focus on the highest-impact issues.

Demonstrate compliance and governance

Detailed audit logs and risk-analysis reports help you prove control of identity risks to auditors, regulators, and stakeholders.

Features that enable identity risk detection and analysis

Continuous entitlement risk analysis

Example:

Dormant accounts reveal hidden risks

During a scheduled scan, Netwrix Identity Management detects multiple dormant user accounts that have not logged in for over three months. Several of these accounts still hold elevated privileges, creating potential entry points for attackers.

Segregation of duties conflicts identified

Further analysis uncovers a policy violation in the finance department where a user can both create and approve vendor payments. This conflicting combination breaches internal controls and introduces a fraud risk.

Automated policy enforcement remediates issues

Predefined policies automatically disable dormant accounts and revoke conflicting permissions. Notifications are sent to data owners for validation, and all corrective actions are logged for audit purposes.

Risk dashboards highlight remaining exposure

Security and compliance teams review dashboards displaying current identity risks ranked by severity. This visibility helps prioritize additional remediation and monitor the organization’s overall risk posture in real time.

Audit-ready reports confirm compliance

When auditors request evidence, IT exports detailed reports showing identified risks, remediation actions, and policy enforcement history. These records demonstrate continuous monitoring and effective governance.

Result

With Netwrix Identity Management, organizations detect and mitigate identity-related risks such as dormant accounts, privilege creep, and segregation of duties violations. Automated policy controls, real-time analytics, and detailed reporting reduce exposure, enforce least privilege, and simplify regulatory compliance.
