What data can I get?

VMware reports about important changes

Inspecting native audit logs is usually a slow and difficult task; plus, it’s easy to get lost in all the noise and miss something critical. Monitor important events across your infrastructure, such as changes made to the configuration of hosts, individual VMware virtual machines and datastores, using the advanced VMware reporting in Netwrix Auditor. Quickly spot unwanted changes, such as the uncontrolled creation of virtual machines or VM snapshots, so you can remediate them before they lead to virtualization sprawl, performance issues and compliance failures.

VMware reports about important changes

Information on successful and failed logon activity

Tracking logons to your VMware environment is crucial for ensuring IT security and business uptime. Without the right tools, it is easy to miss suspicious logons to ESXi hosts and vCenter that could indicate an attack. Netwrix Auditor makes it easy to detect failed logon attempts to your virtual environment and review successful ones, so you can validate your access controls, ensure IT security and maintain uninterrupted business processes.

Information on access permissions

The complex system of access permissions in VMware makes it difficult to ensure the security of your virtualized IT systems and the critical data they store. Understand who has access to what and remediate excessive rights that increase the risk of attackers getting their hands on your sensitive data, disrupting business processes or causing you additional audit findings.

Simplify configuration of alerts on critical events

The tangled structure of VMware environments makes it difficult to stay on top of suspicious activity unless you have the right auditing tool. Netwrix Auditor can generate alerts on suspicious logons to your virtual environment and the modifications you deem most critical, such as the deletion of a virtual machine, updates made to host profiles or VMware cluster changes, so you can respond before the health of your VMware infrastructure is affected.

Simplify configuration of alerts on critical events

Detect suspicious user activity

Some threats are more elaborate and stretch over time, so standard reports and alerts cannot spot them. Netwrix Auditor provides a unified view of all alerts triggered by an individual across all audited systems, and shows a list of suspicious users ranked by their cumulative risk scores. This functionality improves detection of threat actors and helps ensure the security of your systems.

Accelerate troubleshooting of VMware issues

Many events can disrupt your virtual infrastructure: A virtual machine can fail to connect to the network, storage utilization can become excessive, and critical changes can be made to VMware vSphere components or clusters in the VMware vCenter Server. Such issues have to be addressed promptly, before they impact the business. With Interactive Search, you can quickly display information about any event so you can remediate the problem fast and prevent it from occurring again.

Get an overview of events with the VMware reporting software

To spot unusual spikes in user activity, you need an overview of all changes. It’s hard to grasp the bigger picture using native auditing tools. Netwrix Auditor’s consolidated dashboard helps you see at a glance which servers and objects were modified most, who made the most changes and when these changes happened.

Provide auditors with VMware reports faster

Proving to auditors that your security controls work effectively is usually not an easy feat. Eliminate the stress of your next PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, FISMA/NIST, CJIS, GDPR or other compliance audit and slash the preparation time with out-of-the-box compliance reports mapped to a broad range of regulatory standards.
