"Knowledge sharing is a critical success factor for fighting cybercrime, and I’m glad that Netwrix has provided a knowledge resource to give insights to IT pros and encourage them to share expertise," said Richard Muniz, Deployment Engineer at DaVita Kidney Care. "While attackers continue to evolve their techniques, the IT community more than ever needs to raise awareness about major security issues and best practices to tackle cyber threats. Sharing expertise and experience within the professional community will help organizations regardless their size and industry define possible attack vectors, adequately evaluate risks and prevent large-scale data breaches."

The unified knowledge base will be equally helpful for IT administrators, who can use it as an instrument to perform daily routine tasks, IT managers, who may need it for actualizing security enhancements, and CIOs, who have to perform proactive planning and bring security awareness into employees’ minds.
