Netwrix Access Analyzer

The Netwrix Access Analyzer enables the accurate discovery and classification of sensitive and regulated information, whether it is structured or unstructured, on premises or in the cloud. This ensures security efforts are focused on the highest-risk data assets. The platform empowers data owners to verify data sensitivity, increasing accuracy and accountability.

Proactively minimize the attack surface by locating conditions that place sensitive data at risk. This includes identifying excessive user permissions, detecting disabled user accounts that could be repurposed for misuse, and spotlighting sensitive files shared inappropriately with external parties. This preventative view enhances data security.

The software facilitates maintaining the least-privilege principle by monitoring specific access activities. It tracks which users are accessing which data, and to what extent, across the environment. Analyzing this behavioral data allows organizations to accurately revoke unnecessary rights based on actual usage, strengthening security posture.

Shut down active and potential threats by automatically removing excessive permissions or disabling dormant, unneeded accounts. To avoid business disruption during large-scale changes, the system allows security teams to simulate the remediation action first, confirming safety before executing the change in one click.

Identify the business owners responsible for sensitive information and empower them to conduct regular, accurate permission reviews. This shifts the governance workload away from IT staff, who may lack business context. It also enables business users to request access directly from the owner, streamlining provisioning and security.
