October 2016 by Marc Jacob
Netwrix Corporation announced the release of Netwrix Auditor 8.5, which offers 360-degree visibility into user activity across hybrid cloud IT infrastructures for threat detection and data access governance.
Netwrix Auditor is the only visibility and governance platform for hybrid cloud IT infrastructures. Empowered with a RESTful API and user activity video recording, the platform delivers visibility and control across all of your on-premises and cloud-based IT systems in a unified way so you can detect anomalies in user behavior and investigate threat patterns before a data breach occurs.
New applications and features available in Netwrix Auditor 8.5 include:
• Netwrix Auditor for Azure AD — This new application fills the gap between on-premises and cloud security by delivering actionable intelligence about changes to security settings, privilege escalation and access attempts to Azure-powered infrastructures. This enables easy detection and investigation of suspicious activities in the cloud.
• Netwrix Auditor for Office 365 — This application has been upgraded to provide security intelligence about user behavior in SharePoint Online. This helps you identify inappropriate data access and promptly take steps to prevent data leaks.
• Netwrix Auditor for Oracle Database — This new application provides visibility into user and DBA activity, which enables quick detection and investigation of anomalous activity and remediation of threats to structured data.
• Netwrix Auditor for SQL Server — This application has been enhanced to strengthen control over highly privileged users and enable detection of any unauthorized access to SQL databases. The new capabilities ensure even better protection against data exfiltration.
• User Behavior and Blind Spot Analysis — This new capability enables easy detection of anomalies in user behavior that would otherwise go unnoticed, such as abnormal access to sensitive or stale data, unusual spikes in failed activity, activity outside of business hours, activity around harmful files on a corporate data storage and files containing sensitive data, and more.
• New add-ons in the Netwrix Auditor Add-on Store — Add-ons enable you to maximize the value of your existing security applications by feeding them granular audit data from Netwrix Auditor. New add-ons enable easy integration with the leading SIEMs, including Splunk, IBM Security QRadar, AlienVault USM, Solarwinds Log & Event Manager, Intel Security and LogRhythm.
