and a complete audit trail to reconstruct exactly what occurred when something goes wrong. Without real-time visibility, you're always reacting too late. NetRix Access Analyzer gives you real-time visibility into every event. This is the Activity tab in NetRix Access Analyzer's data security dashboard. Filtered to file servers, we're already looking at 149,929 events. Reads, renames, permission changes. With a full activity timeline stretching back to October 2025. Removing the source filter reveals the complete picture across all connected data sources. 221,440 events total. Across file servers, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Copilot. All in one view. As Gen AI tools become part of everyday workflows, their activity on your data is just as important to monitor as any human user. The Events by Type breakdown covers everything from file reads and downloads to Copilot interactions and permission changes. Full visibility into both human and AI-driven access in a single audit trail. Scrolling to the Activity Detail table, every event is logged with its timestamp, source, event type, user, and the exact resource path. 500 rows visible, fully searchable. To investigate a specific user, we filter by John Smith. Instantly, the view narrows to 15,430 events in just three days. A volume that warrants a closer look. Predominantly reads and renames across file servers, with activity spiking on April 29th. Is this normal behavior or is something else going on? The Detail table will tell us. The Activity Detail table shows exactly what John touched. Healthcare data files and finance, cardio study images, billing payment records in Albany, and surgery operative notes in regional resources. Sensitive data across multiple departments in three days. Whether this turns out to be legitimate activity or something more serious, you have every file, every timestamp, every action. Logged, traceable, and ready to share with your incident response team or auditor. With NetRix Access Analyzer, you see every file access, every permission change, every sharing event. Across file servers, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and more. In real time and historically. Prove compliance and spot suspicious behavior before it becomes a breach.
