The easiest, yet most comprehensive way of auditing, reporting and alerting on file server changes and permission changes.
We believe all organizations should instantly be able to see 'who, what, where and when' files and folders are created, accessed, modified, copied or deleted at the click of a button. We also think it's essential that organizations are easily able to track and compare permissions across their data. Lepide's File Server auditing solution addresses the challenges of the rise of the insider-threat and the reporting requirements associated with common regulatory compliance mandates. We give IT teams the power to see more, faster.

Deploying a File Server auditing solution, like Lepide Auditor, helps you get more visibility into the changes taking place to your critical data stored in your File Servers. Real-time alerting, pre-defined reports and powerful File Server auditing capabilities, enable you to get a better understanding of user behavior surrounding your data. Here are just some ways in which it can help your business.
Through an intuitive dashboard, you will be able to easily track changes occurring across the whole of your File Server environment. Get an overview of the total number of changes made to File Server; broken down per administrator, source and trend. This should help you not only understand the causes of a single change, but help you spot overall anomalies in events. The LiveFeed shows you all File Server changes made as they are happening so that you can react to them quicker.
Through our intelligent anomaly spotting technology, you will receive real time alerts and reports whenever users make changes to your data that are abnormal or suspicious – including single point anomalies. The User and Entity Behavior Analytics section allows you to determine why something was flagged as an anomaly based on a pre-defined learning period and several factors, including time, event criticality, operation and location.
Our graphical dashboard will enable you to easily track changes occurring across the whole of your File Server environment. It provides you with an easy-to-understand overview of the total number of changes made to File Server; broken down per administrator, source and trend. This should help you not only understand the causes of a single change, but help you spot overall anomalies in events. The performance of your File Server is also tracked and reported on to help you decrease downtime. The LiveFeed shows you all File Server changes made as they are happening so that you can react to them quicker.
Lepide File Server Auditor addresses the ever-increasing demand to prove to auditors that adequate steps are being taken to ensure data is being responsibly monitored. It provides a wide range of detailed reports that directly map to the common requirements of compliance standards; such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, FISMA, CCPA and GDPR.
It displays a single log for a single change that gives you the answers to the “who, what, when and where” auditing questions. This data is collected and presented through predefined audit reports aimed at helping you solve all manner of security, compliance and IT operations challenges. Every change made is displayed with before and after values to provide you with helpful context. You can customize these reports with auditing functions and create dedicated reports to track a specific file, folder, user or operation.
The earlier you can react to File Server changes, the easier it is to mitigate the damage that can occur. To do this, it offers real time alerts based on a single event or based on threshold conditions that have been defined by the user. For example, we can set an alert to be sent to the intended recipients if an event occurs a certain number of times over a defined period of time. This kind of alerting enables you to spot trends in changes that may be indicative of unauthorized or inappropriate activity.
Through our integration with the Fpolicy framework and the assigned file policy, we’re able to capture events to audit and monitor file and folder activity on your NetApp through CIFS. We treat NetApp Filers the same as we would any traditional Windows File Server auditing all changes to files and folders, share, permissions, and more.
Our file server auditor is a simple way of keeping track of all changes as they happen. The predefined audit reports contain details regarding all attempts of file or folder creation, deletion, copy, move, rename, and other modifications. We also detail the time, drive, folder, file name, process and event. You can track what has happened to a file or folder since its creation, see who has accessed or modified it, and ultimately who has deleted it.
Current Permission analysis of file servers shows the effective permissions applied on the Shared Folders. Our solution compares the applied NTFS with the Share Permissions to analyze the currently effective permission on a selected file or folder. It also displays the scope of the applied permission by showing the folder level where permission inheritance gets broken and whether the effective permission is direct, indirect or inherited. Reports can be filtered, sorted, saved and investigated for all 13 possible permissions.
Our File Server change auditing solution analyzes Historical File Server permissions for Windows File System. You can view the list of all historical permissions for a selected file and folder. The administrator can also compare the permissions for the selected file or folder between two specified time intervals. You can save separate reports for both "Permission History" and "Compare Permission" in PDF, MHT or CSV formats on the disk. It also displays the scope of the permission changes.
Privilege management is essential in modern businesses. It's vital you know when permissions are being changed, who's changing them, what has been changed and from where the change was made. Using Lepide File Server Auditor for File Server will allow you to view a specific file or folder and instantly see the permission changes. It provides real-time alerts with advanced filtration and a threshold limit to keep you up to date on every critical permission change.
All access attempts made to files and folders are audited by our File Server Auditor. The solution creates dedicated, in-depth auditing reports for different access types; such as read successful, read failed, creation failed and more. You can also configure the solution to send real-time alerts for these access attempts.
With our File Server auditing solution, you can audit all changes to shared files and folders including their permission changes. The dedicated reports help keep you aware of every change being made. You can customize these reports with auditing functions and create dedicated reports to track specific files, folders, users or permissions. We let you determine the effective permissions applied to the shared files and folders with an inbuilt “Current Permission Report”. This report compares the NTFS with the Share Permissions to evaluate the current effective permissions on a selected shared file or folder.
Naturally – you want to know if any of your files have been modified but the real value comes from the context. We think it’s important to show you what it was changed from. The before values allow you to truly understand the purpose of the event and enable IT teams to identify issues faster.
While it’s fair to say we’re not the only provider of file auditing and monitoring solutions on the market we’re actually one of the very few that can accurately show you when a file has been copied. We think this is pretty important when trying to keep track of your critical data. Especially given that copied files are the main source of data leakage.
Our intelligent filters let you use “*” (asterisk) and “?” (question mark) to drill-down the audit reports and focus on the changes made to files and folders containing these characters in names, paths, usernames or other audit details. A common use case may be to search for all files where the filename contains the word ‘confidential’. You can then easily save this search in a PDF, CSV or MHT file. You can also use these wildcards to send the real-time alerts for changes made to for sensitive data.
It lets you prepare a quick Incident Response by allowing you to run your own custom script with the alerting of selected critical changes. You can perform automated tasks defined in your script; including disable a user account, delete a user account, revoke the permission granted to a user or shut down a computer. For an example, you can set the solution to delete a user who has deleted multiple files. Yes, you can set to get notifications for both critical changes and script execution.
It enables you to get insight into which files and folders that your users and groups have access to and manage the levels of permissions applied to them. You can also generate a list of open shares in your File Server, including the files and folders residing within them, and see by what means they were ‘opened’.
Lepide is straightforward to use and effective right off the bat. Plus, the level of patience, attentiveness and technical knowhow is far beyond most support and sales teams I’ve seen before.
