Dell Data Storage Auditing Software

Netwrix Auditor for Dell Data Storage audits Dell VNX and VNXe, Isilon, and Celerra storage devices to help enterprises strengthen data security, streamline compliance and increase operational efficiency. It enables complete visibility into your storage environment by tracking all changes to files, folders, shares and permissions; reporting on data access events; enabling data discovery and classification (in conjunction with Netwrix Data Classification); and revealing data usage patterns and data ownership.

Data classification reports

Provide insight into sensitive data on Dell Isilon and Celerra, VNXe and VNX file servers, including its location, permissions to it and activity around it. The reports work only in conjunction with Netwrix Data Classification.

Dell data storage change auditing

Unlike native Dell Celerra, VNX, VNXe and Isilon audit logs, delivers information about every change in a human-readable format with clear who-what-when-where details, in both predefined and custom reports.

Access auditing and reporting

Enables access management across your Dell file servers by reporting on both successful and failed user access attempts with complete who-what-when-where details.

Control over permissions configuration

Empowers you to keep permissions to sensitive data in compliance with internal data security policy and external regulations with features like easy comparison of current and past permissions settings.

Alerts on aberrant activity

Notifies you about attempts to access your data, changes to permissions to critical files and more, so you can quickly spot aberrant user file activity and external attacks that threaten your sensitive information.

File analysis reports

Provides valuable insight into data usage and data ownership, and identifies duplicate files and stale data on Dell VNX and VNXe devices, Celerra storages, and Isilon clusters.

Easy compliance reporting

Makes it easy to prove your compliance by providing hard data in predefined audit reports aligned to standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, FISMA, GLBA, CJIS, GDPR and more.

Interactive search

Enables you to quickly sift through audit events by fine-tuning your search criteria until you find the root cause of an issue or the answer to a specific question from an auditor.

Dell data storage risk assessment

Provides security intelligence that helps you identify and remediate security gaps that put sensitive data at risk, such as an abundance of directly assigned permissions or potentially harmful files on your Dell data storages.

Behavior Anomaly Discovery

Streamlines insider threat detection by providing a single view of user accounts and their associated risk scores, and easy access to the complete activity trail of each user.

User Behavior and Blind Spot Analysis

Enables you to spot suspicious spikes in user file activity that might otherwise go unnoticed by providing intelligence about data access trends and data access surges.

Non-intrusive architecture

Operates without agents, which ensures that data collection does not interfere with system processes or performance.

Stay on top of suspicious file audit events that could compromise your data and lead to compliance failures

To protect sensitive data stored on Dell data storage devices from leaks and comply with industry and government regulations, organizations must audit files and folders on these storage devices. Netwrix Auditor for Dell Data Storage simplifies Dell VNX and VNXe, Celerra, and Isilon auditing and reporting to help organizations keep their sensitive data safe from unauthorized access or changes.

Keep tabs on activity around sensitive data on your storage devices

Enable continuous Dell VNX and VNXe, Celerra, and Isilon file auditing by combining Netwrix Auditor with Netwrix Data Classification, so you can to ensure that no suspicious activity around regulated data, such as privilege escalations or failed read attempts, slips under your radar.

Streamline data security incident investigation

Ditch manual processing of native Dell Isilon, Celerra, VNXe and VNX audit logs. Quickly investigate suspicious file activity, such as repeated failed access events, privilege elevation or mass deletion of files, using the Interactive Search engine.

Enforce the least-privilege principle across your environment

See who has access rights to critical data that they rarely use. Get data owners and department managers involved in privilege attestation so you can revoke all access rights that are not required for users to perform their jobs, and thereby minimize your attack surface.

Understand your unstructured data to enable better information management decisions

Identify which data is no longer in use and can be safely deleted or archived. Easily spot files that have multiple copies, determine which files occupy the most storage, and identify redundant or empty folders. Use this intelligence to clean up your storage environment and increase user productivity.
