Audit Control is critical in a data security strategy because it ensures visibility into every action taken on sensitive data, including modifications, deletions, and other actions such as access and file creation. By tracking these activities, organizations can proactively identify risks and maintain a transparent data governance framework.
Track user actions on sensitive data, linking each action to a specific identity for enhanced visibility and accountability. Generate identity-aware reports that document key actions, like file modifications or the completion of Data Subject Requests (DSRs), tied to the individuals responsible and whose data it is. Customize report formats to meet internal audit needs or regulatory requirements, making it easier to demonstrate compliance and governance.
Set identity-aware alerts for suspicious behavior, such as mass deletions or file encryption, helping to detect and respond to potential threats like ransomware. Trigger real-time notifications when specific users engage in high-risk actions, allowing you to address potential issues quickly. Define alert thresholds based on user behaviors and data interactions, enabling proactive detection of unusual activity and potential security threats.
Centralize identity-aware audit logs that capture all actions tied to specific individuals, offering a clear view of who interacts with whose sensitive data. Identify behavior patterns by reviewing logs to detect trends in data access and usage across your environment. Ensure data integrity by maintaining detailed, identity-centric logs of all activities, supporting both security investigations and compliance management.
