Lepide Auditor for Windows File Server.

Lepide File Server Auditing software enables you to audit when files and folders are created, accessed, modified, copied or deleted in file server. We also help organizations track and compare permissions across their file servers. Our File auditing software addresses the challenges of the rise of the insider-threat and the data reporting requirements associated with common regulatory compliance mandates. We give IT teams the power to see more, faster.

Audit critical file server changes.

Native Windows File Server auditing is noisy, time consuming, and often lacks the critical information you need to determine what is happening to your sensitive data.

With Lepide, you can get detailed audit reports for all critical file server changes, including changes made to files, folders, and permissions.

Lepide’s audit reports are easy to read, quick to generate, and provide all the critical who, what, when, and where information you need to make informed decisions.

Proactively audit file and folder access.

  • Audit, report and alert on any changes that affect sensitive data, including changes to files, folders, file shares, and permissions.
  • Get information on file and folder access across your File Servers so that you can better control data access.
  • See who has access to which data, compare current and historic permissions, and spot data that is over-exposed through excessive permissions. In addition, you can also reverse permissions for an object.
  • Understand when users are copying files or folders that contain sensitive data.
  • Every change made is displayed with before and after values to provide you with helpful context.

Ensuring the security of your sensitive data involves understanding who has access to it, and how they are getting those permissions.

With Lepide, you can view the effective permissions to files and folders, and easily see the means by which those permissions were granted (such as directly or indirectly through nested groups).

FSA

  • Identify data that is open to all users through open shares.
  • Spot stale data that can be archived to reduce your attack surface and reduce storage costs.
  • Get reports on which users have unnecessary access to sensitive data based on their data usage patterns.
  • Analyze user behavior with sensitive data (copying, moving, modifying, deleting, etc.) and spot anomalies in real time.
FSA

  • Automatically scan and classify sensitive or regulated data at the point of creation to add more context to your auditing reports.
  • Implement hundreds of pre-defined criteria sets to locate sensitive data across your unstructured data stores and map to compliance mandates.
  • Other solutions may take days to scan your environment for sensitive data. With Lepide, you can identify sensitive data at the point of creation for instant value.
  • Identify what content users have access to and what they are doing with your data to better inform access controls and security policies.
