Netwrix Corporation, a data security and risk mitigation provider, has released the new edition of its Auditor platform to enable organisations to address GDPR requirements.
The company has announced the pre-release demo of its data discovery and classification functionality, which will help organisations meet GDPR requirements by identifying, classifying and securing sensitive data.
Netwrix Auditor is a visibility platform for user behavior analysis and risk mitigation that enables control over changes, configurations and access in hybrid IT environments to protect data regardless of its location. The platform provides security intelligence to identify security holes, detect anomalies in user behavior and investigate threat patterns in time to prevent real damage.
Its new functionality, Netwrix Auditor – Data Discovery and Classification Edition, was developed in partnership with Concept Searching, a provider of semantic metadata generation. The company claims the solution will enable ‘complete visibility’ into where sensitive files are located, what content is inside them, who can access the files and who actually uses them.
The platform will help organisations prove the effectiveness of their data security controls as required by GDPR and other regulations. It does this by enabling them to gain a high-level view of the sensitive data they store, discover any sensitive data stored outside of a secure dedicated location, streamline regular attestations of access rights to sensitive data, and detect unauthorised activity around sensitive data.
“The new edition of Netwrix Auditor, developed in partnership with Concept Searching, will help organizations address critical GDPR requirements, relieve the compliance burden and ensure the security of business-critical data. Analysts say that only 30% of organizations worldwide are fully compliant with the new law, and that most are taking a piecemeal approach to adopting GDPR controls. We offer a more holistic approach to GDPR compliance and empower companies to provide hard evidence that sensitive files are not overexposed, that they reside only in dedicated safe locations with proper access controls and that they are not accessed by unauthorized personnel,” said Michael Fimin, CEO and co-founder of Netwrix.
Founded in 2006, Netwrix Corporation is a software company focused on providing IT operations and security teams ‘pervasive visibility’ into user behavior and system configurations. Over 9,000 enterprises worldwide rely on Netwrix to detect and proactively mitigate data security threats on premises and in the cloud, pass compliance audits with less expense, and increase the productivity of their IT security and operations teams.
