then import the results into a reporting database before you can see anything. For large environments, that means hours of delay between exposure and awareness. With NetRix Access Analyzer, you can get results in 30 seconds. Let's navigate to the Source Groups menu to add new data sources. Let's add File Servers. Select Access to scan for file server permissions and access controls. Scan sensitive data. Run scan now. And then complete the setup. The scan is running. With NetRix Access Analyzer, results stream directly into the data security dashboard in real time. Watch the numbers update. Total data repositories. Total objects scanned. Sensitive data findings. Permissions analyzed. All populating as the scan progresses. No bulk import. No waiting. What used to take hours now takes seconds. Now let's navigate to the NetRix Access Analyzer Sensitive Data Report. Immediately, we can see 2,958 files containing sensitive data across 16 shares on two hosts, with 41 distinct sensitive data terms identified. 82% of those findings are U.S. Social Security numbers, concentrated heavily in the HR department share. The Sensitive Data File Details table below shows exactly which files are affected, what type of data each one contains, and the regulatory frameworks that apply. CCPA GDPR PII mapped automatically, with no manual tagging required. Now let's navigate the NetRix Access Analyzer Access Report. From a single drop-down, you get 8 pre-built access reports. Broken Inheritance. High-Risk ACLs. Open Access. Share Audit. Probable Owner. Domain User ACLs, and more. The Broken Inheritance report shows 18 total shares, with 11% having permissions that deviate from their parent folder, creating access blind spots that attackers can exploit. The File System Broken Inheritance Summary breaks this down share by share, so your team knows exactly where to remediate first. With the new NetRix Access Analyzer, your security team stops waiting and starts acting. The moment a scan begins.
