Change Auditor for EMC
Track, audit and report on events and changes in real-time with our enhanced EMC security monitoring tool. Change Auditor for EMC provides real-time tracking, auditing, reporting and alerting on all changes to help ensure the security, compliance and control of files and folders. You can easily monitor, report on and analyze events and changes while staying alert to security concerns. You’ll instantly know who made what change when and where, and from what originating workstation for enhanced EMC security monitoring. You can then automatically generate intelligent, in-depth forensics for all change events for a complete auditing picture.
Event logging and change reporting for EMC file servers is time consuming using EMC-provided tools because you have to repeat the process for each server and you end up with a huge volume of data and a myriad of reports. Your data security is also at risk because with the limitations of EMC-provided tools, you may not find out about problems until it’s too late. But with Change Auditor for EMC, you’ll catch problems in real time.
Key Benefits

At-a-glance display
Track user and administrator activity with detailed information for change events, plus original and current values for all changes.
Real-time alerts on the move

Features
Security timelines
View, highlight and filter change events and discover their relation to other security events in chronological order across your AD and Azure AD environment for better forensic analysis and security incident response.
Improved security insights
Correlate disparate IT data from numerous systems and devices into IT Security Search, an interactive search engine for fast security incident response and forensic analysis. Include user entitlements and activity, event trends, suspicious patterns and more with rich visualizations and event timelines.
Related searches
Provide instant, one-click access to all information on the change you're viewing and all related events, such as what other changes came from specific users and workstations, eliminating additional guesswork and unknown security concerns.
Superior auditing engine
