Sony Pictures Networks India Slashes Time Spent on SOX Audits & Compliance by 5 Times

Dinesh liked Netwrix Auditor for its single–pane–of–glass approach. It provided a centralized view of all the systems and applications and enabled his team to easily track the activity in a cross-platform way.

• Tracking data manipulations. With daily reports on access events, file modifications and deletions, as well as alerts on abnormal events, Netwrix Auditor provides clear insights into what happens on the company’s file servers. Thus, the IT staff can better manage risks to sensitive information, including ransomware.
• Achieving sustainable compliance. In just several minutes a day, Dinesh reviews activity across the entire environment  to validate the company’s ongoing compliance with SOX. Moreover, he expects that Netwrix Auditor will reduce the time spent on both audit preparation and the audits themselves. Instead of 5 days, they will need just one day to prepare for an audit and finding answers for auditors' additional questions will take minutes instead of days.
• Improving control over business-critical systems. Active Directory provides authentication across the whole network and SharePoint is used for most business workflows — and Netwrix Auditor enables Dinesh to gain better control over both. He checks for changes made to Active Directory so he can immediately detect and investigate problems. As for SharePoint, he can track changes to both farm configurations and content in order to make sure that the system runs smoothly and the information there is correct.
