NetWrix File Server Change Reporter

File server auditing is a critical requirement for organizations that rely on file servers to store their documents and network applications. Unauthorized and accidental changes in files and folder structure, permissions, file shares, and other objects can significantly impact your users and infrastructure by facilitating data theft and security threats.
