The problem
The solution

Laird Tech was facing problems in identifying the users who were accessing files and folders and making changes in a shared folder. It was quite a daunting task for their IT staff to determine who has made what change to which file, when and from where this was done. They were lacking a means that can provide them full overview of their file server environment.

Therefore, the IT department at Laird Tech was looking for an all-inclusive file server auditing software that can monitor all file server accesses along with other auditing requirements.

Laird Tech’s foremost requirement was to monitor the access, usage, and deletion of the files stored in the shared locations. They were in need of software that can provide streamlined auditing feature along with the ability to send alerts in case of critical changes. They wanted to have total visibility with who, what, when and, where information for each change. Additionally, they also wanted it to help them in enhancing security and meeting various legal and compliance requirements.
