    Equip your customers with advanced file visibility, permission insights, and storage optimization.

 

    We’re excited to announce the launch of the File Analysis add-on for ADAudit Plus, available for you to offer to your customers. This module expands ADAudit Plus’ file security capabilities beyond real-time auditing. While File Auditing helps monitor changes, access, and live threats, File Analysis goes a step further and uncovers dormant risks across file servers.


With the File Analysis add-on, your customers can:

  • Uncover risky and redundant files by detecting duplicate, outdated, hidden, and non-business content.

  • Analyze access and ownership by identifying who owns what, who can access it, and how storage is being used—all in one view.

  • Assess permission drift by locating files with open or excessive user permissions.

  • Prevent data sprawl by analyzing file ownership patterns to detect unusual accumulation or unsupervised files.

  • Maintain optimal storage health by monitoring disk usage and share size trends.

 

    The File Analysis add-on enhances the value of ADAudit Plus, making it easier for you to position the product as both an Active Directory security auditing solution and a comprehensive data visibility solution.
