Zeon Chemicals Prepares for J-SOX Audits and Saves Hours on Monthly Internal Checks

Jochen was unhappy with the previous solution he used to monitor user activity, since it took 99% of servers’ performance to run SQL monitoring, so while it was collecting the data, nobody could work with databases; they also had to go through different interfaces to get the audit data. Netwrix Auditor is very lightweight and does not influence the company's system performance; it was also easy to install and use and aggregates all information within one interface. 

• Improved control over SQL servers with far less effort. Before, Jochen's team had to export logs to Excel and manually check if all changes in SQL matched with the ticketing system, as required by J-SOX. Now his team receives information on activity across all SQL servers in one report that can be filtered easily, saving them at least two hours on monthly internal audits.
• Faster investigations. Now the IT team can track down harmful activity faster. For instance, when Jochen looked through the Enterprise Overview dashboard, he detected an unusual spike of activity on the file servers and quickly found a rogue PC running a daily script.
• Improved reporting for audits. Netwrix Auditor enables Jochen to automate the internal auditing process to make sure that all security controls are followed. He expects that the software will also help him strengthen J-SOX controls and improve reporting, so it will become easier to provide auditors with the evidence that Zeon's financial statements are secure and weren’t maliciously modified.
