NetFort Launch Network File Share Access Monitoring Module
The best way to plug data leakage is to implement a good security plan, which will include the do's and don'ts for the internal network. To support and enforce this strategy many organisations have secured the external access to their IT systems with passwords and firewalls, but far fewer have a visibility into internal access, so those inside the organisation often have full and unfettered access to the most sensitive data, irrespective of their job role.
NetFort Monitor and store all data and through instant alerting allows an organisation to Validate key sensitive file share accesses.
Network File Share Access
The LANGuardian assures that all information accessed by ALL users is recorded for auditing purposes. With this risk reduction strategy in place, business rules can be encoded with actions when certain thresholds/files are exceeded/accessed. This also allows rapid remediation of any leakage paths that may occur in your operations.
Example 1
Network Manager is asked to validate who deleted an excel file from the main file and print server from Director of Human Resources at 5 am Monday morning. The LANGuardian report instantly shows the user who accessed the file last and what action (i.e. delete, modify, etc) was associated with the file.
Example 2
MS files which contain sensitive data being sent to external destination via webmail. Having a full forensic trace of this from the copy of the file to sending it via http. Trace and path to corrective action. This has already been proven with JA.NET
