This is a tool for auditing of Windows file servers.
File servers store important files that are accessed by large number of users. The integrity of the servers is important in the sense that, it can affect many users. There being many users, there is an increased vulnerability to malicious changes made to the files and the server configuration by anyone. Mistakes too can have disastrous effect on the server. The information on these servers is important business resource, and thus the whole organization could become vulnerable to problems. Constant vigil over all the activities on the server thus needs to be monitored. Tracking all the changes in the server resource will be able to point out changes, mistaken or malicious, that could affect the organization. These alterations could lead to security breaches, data corruption and costly recovery, etc. The native tool with the file server product could be limited in capability, creating a need for this kind of tool to be deployed for audit.
File server tools need to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and this tool can help you do that easily. You are able to perform access management of all the file servers on your corporate network. Administrators are able to make out the “who, what, where and when” of all the accesses and changes made to the server straightaway. These details are made available in reports that can be scheduled and forwarded to specified email addresses. Real time alerts could be generated for critical changes. Report generation could be done in DOC, PDF, HTML and TXT formats. A central repository of the server logs can be created in a Secure SQL Server database for long term archiving and better log management. This is a good tool.
