Clackamas Fire District Mitigates the Risk of Ransomware and Saves up to $190,000 Per Year

Oscar chose Netwrix Auditor because it was easy to use and provided him with deep visibility into file permissions and user activities, such as data access and modification. 

• Lower risk of ransomware attacks. Oscar uses Netwrix Auditor to spot vulnerabilities, such as excessive access and modify permissions, stale data. He also minimizes the risk of data compromise by cleaning up permissions and inactive accounts. Oscar also receives alerts on potential signs of ransomware or brute-force attacks (e.g. excessive failed activities) to respond before it is too late. Plus, he gets alerts whenever a user gains administrative privileges to mitigate risk of insider misuse.
• Visibility into file servers. Oscar regularly reviews summary reports, reports on permissions changes and dashboards with overview of activities on file servers to quickly detect abnormal activities. Deep visibility into who accessed, changed, added or removed what files and when enables Oscar to protect sensitive data.
• Continuous compliance. Oscar uses out-of-the-box compliance reports to check whether the fire district is meeting CJIS, ISO and HIPAA regulatory guidelines. He spends 2 days instead of 3-4 weeks on internal audits and saves the organization around $190,000 annually on user activity monitoring and reports generation.
