Netwrix’s Culture of Innovation– Unleashing AI

Earlier this week, I sat down with Grady Summers, Paul Stephens, and Whitney Daily to discuss how innovation takes shape inside Netwrix — from modernizing development with AI to rethinking customer experience and cross-team collaboration. Our conversation highlights not only a shared culture of experimentation, accountability, and curiosity but falso that innovation can move sideways as much or more than it does downward.

👉 Explore every Innovation Week conversation to hear how Netwrix leaders are reimagining data and identity security across the 1Secure Platform — from AI-driven risk remediation to Copilot readiness and beyond.

AI Is Changing Everything

It’s very true to life in today’s market that, whether we like it or not, AI is changing everything. Across the business we’ve leaned into that reality. From technology to customer experience, every team is exploring what AI can do to make our work smarter and faster.

What I’ve seen is that innovation at Netwrix means being comfortable with failure. We try things, we find what doesn’t work, and we keep going. That mindset applies everywhere—from the technology we use in our products, to the tools and processes we rely on, and the way we collaborate. You have to be innovative on every level, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.

AI as a Lever, Not the Driver

AI is incredible at taking great ideas, great people, and great processes — and making them even greater. But AI doesn’t sit in the driver’s seat. It’s a lever that we pull as developers, engineers, and innovators to accelerate progress.

Across the company, we’re seeing people ask new questions: How can I do what I already do — but faster, smarter, or better? How can I do something that wasn’t previously possible to me? Whether it’s in engineering, customer success, or community, teams are finding creative ways to use AI as a force multiplier for their existing strengths or even to build new ones.

Innovation That Moves Sideways

One of the best things about Netwrix is that innovation doesn’t just flow from the top down; it flows across the entire organization. Every conversation has the potential to spark something new — whether it’s inspired by customer insight, an emerging technology, or a shared challenge we’re solving together.

These moments of collaboration often evolve into tangible improvements: smarter features, more efficient processes, and ultimately better outcomes for our customers. Innovation here isn’t confined to one department or leadership level; it’s part of our daily rhythm. By sharing ideas openly and connecting across teams, we continue to create meaningful solutions that strengthen security, simplify complexity, and deliver value to the people who rely on us every day.

That shared mindset is what drives Netwrix forward. It’s not just about technology; it’s about people working together to make security smarter, simpler, and more effective for everyone.

Innovation Week at Netwrix

Netwrix Innovation Week is a multi-day series highlighting the breakthroughs shaping the future of data and identity security. Each day focuses on a different theme — from our 1Secure™ Platform and Netwrix AI, to Access Analyzer, Copilot Readiness, ITDR, and beyond. The series builds toward the virtual Netwrix Innovation Summit on 22 October, where our leadership team will showcase how these innovations connect into a unified vision.
