    Overview

    Change Auditor for Windows File Servers helps you control and audit changes to Microsoft Windows file servers efficiently and cost-effectively. It proactively tracks, audits, reports and alerts on vital changes in real time and without the overhead of native auditing.

    You will instantly know the “who, what, when, where and originating workstation” details, and get the original and current values for fast troubleshooting. You can then automatically generate intelligent, in-depth forensics for auditors and management, reducing the risks associated with day-to-day modifications and ensuring confidence at your next audit.

    Agentless, remote and non-intrusive, FileAudit offers a simple more user-friendly way to safeguard and secure file access in a Windows environment. FileAudit provides real-time monitoring and alerting on all access (or access attempts). FileAudit also implements contextual functions such as mass access and alteration alerts, tracking source IP address information for remote data access, and providing granular time and date alerting parameters to monitor folder and file access at unusual or unexpected times.
