Updated Netwrix Auditor Extends Access Security and Governance to Office 365

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Netwrix, a vendor of information security and governance software, today announced the release of Netwrix Auditor 9.9, which enables organizations to strengthen control over access to minimize the risk of data leaks while enforcing a model of least-privilege, enterprise-wide. The new release also features extended data access security for users of Office 365, VMware and Active Directory.

"The key to data security is to establish effective access control across the entire IT environment, especially if data is also stored in the cloud. Organizations often struggle with this challenge because of the diversity of IT systems, data assets and high numbers of users. Our new release adds capabilities that enable customers to tell which data stored in Office 365 is at risk and whether any users have been granted unnecessary privileges, so organizations can address issues before they result in data leaks, compliance failures or business disruptions," said Steve Dickson, CEO of Netwrix.

New features available in Netwrix Auditor 9.9 enable organizations to:
