Netwrix, a vendor that delivers effective and accessible cybersecurity, has officially announced new versions for six of its products to help customers identify and protect sensitive data, as well as detect, respond to, and recover from attacks in a resilient manner. Talk about the products that are set to be impacted under this development, we begin from Netwrix Endpoint Protector. Netwrix Endpoint Protector is positioned, moving forward, to protect data stored on employee workstations and laptops from accidental loss, unauthorized sharing, and malicious exfiltration. Furthermore, users can expect a continuous brand of DLP operation across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints, something which in turn does a lot to cut back on attack surface, and therefore, mitigates the risk of a breach. Next up, we must get into the enhancement made across Netwrix PolicyPak, where businesses can now solve endpoint management and protection challenges for workstations and laptops with ARM processors, and they can do so without affecting end-user productivity in any way. Moving on, Netwrix GroupID solution also saw a step up to make it possible for customers to remediate security risks, and at the same time, reduce manual effort from the IT team. The latter bit will be achieved by streamlining user and group management in Google Workspace, Active Directory, Entra ID (former Azure AD), and Microsoft 365.
Hold on, we still have a few bits left to unpack, considering we still haven’t discussed how the whole runner will impact the prospects of Netwrix Privilege solution. You see, thanks to the update, Netwrix Privilege can now ensure a rather consistent control over privileges across both Microsoft SQL Server and Postgres, while simultaneously providing seamless database migration capabilities. Building upon that is how Netwrix Password Secure can now further reduce vulnerability to brute-force attack. This it should be able to do by significantly increasing the iteration count for key derivation functions, improving client and server authentication hashes, and strengthening personal user key encryption. Among other details, we have the new version of Netwrix Enterprise Auditor (formerly Netwrix StealthAUDIT), which is handed the means to cut back on the risk of data breaches by identifying sensitive data and detecting suspicious activity around the same on Qumulo and Nutanix servers. Rounding up highlights is the update introduced across Netwrix Change Tracker to help it facilitate compliance with a broad selection of new CIS Benchmarks and Compliance Reports templates.
“With 73% of organizations having a hybrid IT infrastructure and 69% of those who are currently on premises only planning to start cloud adoption soon, the complexity of IT architecture becomes a major challenge for data security,” said Michael Tweddle, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix. “Netwrix keeps focusing on delivering strong, consistent security measures across the whole on-premises and cloud infrastructure to empower our customers to face digital threats with confidence.”
Founded in 2006, Netwrix has risen up on the back of its innovative solutions that safeguard data, identities, and infrastructure. Having touched on the company’s solutions, they currently stretch across areas like database security, IT compliance, information governance, IT risk assessment, information security risk assessment file analysis, user behavior analysis, change auditing, data access governance, system hardening, and more. Netwrix’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider more than 13,500 organizations across 100+ countries currently rely on it to solidify their security and compliance posture across all three primary attack vectors: data, identity and infrastructure
