FileAudit
FileAudit - Keep an eye on file access activities across Windows servers and cloud environments in real time.
About FileAudit
FileAudit by IS Decisions is a file access auditing and monitoring solution for Windows servers and cloud-based file storage. It provides real-time visibility into who is accessing files and folders, when, and from where, offering a centralized and sortable list of access events including read, write, delete, rename, permission changes, and ownership changes. FileAudit captures critical details such as file path, object type, status (granted/denied), user, domain, source IP address, and machine name. It supports monitoring across on-premises Windows servers and popular cloud services like Microsoft OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Google Drive, Dropbox Business, and Box. The software enables powerful filtering by server, path, access status, access type, object type, domain, user/group, and source, helping administrators quickly identify risky activities. FileAudit also offers real-time alerts on both individual and mass access events, with customizable thresholds to detect bulk copying, deletion, or movement, and can trigger automated responses such as scripts to mitigate threats like ransomware. It includes NTFS permissions reporting and tracking changes, letting you stay on top of who has access to what. With AiDOOS, you can deploy and adopt FileAudit faster, streamlining the setup process and ensuring you gain complete visibility into your file environments without operational overhead.
Challenges It Solves
- Manual tracking and monitoring of file access across Windows servers and cloud storage is time-consuming and error-prone.
- Maintaining compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX requires detailed audit trails of file access activities.
- Without real-time alerts, detecting unauthorized access, data theft, or ransomware attacks is delayed, leading to potential data breaches.
- Managing NTFS permissions and tenant-level access is complex without a centralized tool.
