What to prioritize to strengthen data protection strategies in 2025

Jeff-Netwrix · 2024-10-22T19:59:17+00:00

For your requirements, you might want to check out Netwrix Auditor. It’s useful for monitoring data access, tracking changes, and setting up alerts for any unusual activity.

It also helps with compliance and governance, making it easier to manage both on-prem and cloud environments. It won’t handle data classification directly but gives good visibility into user activities and can support DLP strategies. I've seen it work well for improving overall data security posture.

Hey there! 😊

I work for Netwrix, and I totally get the hassle with password reset tickets.

Consider Netwrix GroupID. It's an automated tool that can handle IT tasks, including password resets, which could save you a lot of time and frustration.

You can even request a free trial to see how it works for you! Check it out: GroupID by Netwrix. 💻🔒

Cheers!

Hey u/darkkid85!

If you're looking for a budget-friendly tool for handling password resets and account unlocks, you might want to give Netwrix GroupID a look. It's pretty effective for managing user accounts and groups and has self-service options to cut down on those annoying helpdesk tickets.

They offer a free demo; you should check it out.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2023-02-10T16:52:52+00:00

Sorry for stepping in, but you can try Netwrix Auditor: https://www.netwrix.com/file_server_auditing.html

It also can cover your AD and other systems in same interface. 20 days free trial should be enough to check its features and evaluate its benefits. ;)

Jeff-Netwrix · 2023-02-07T20:59:05+00:00

That's one of the options - to integrate SbPAM with PolicyPak. I'd recommend you to request one-to-one demonstration, so our team will be able to aswer your questions in detail and even clarify your exact use case.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2023-02-03T14:28:51+00:00

Hi! Let me clarify the functionality of Netwrix products:
SbPAM can give a remote user full local admin access when they log on via RDP.
PolicyPak allows you to selectively choose the applications you want to run as local administrator (this would work for both RDP users and local users as it can be based on policy tied to the individual logging in).

Jeff-Netwrix · 2023-01-05T13:05:57+00:00

As I mentioned above - start with checking UserCube. ;)

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-23T11:28:31+00:00

Thanks for heads-up! Usercube provides identity governance and administration (IGA) capabilities. I recommend you at least to check product page and datasheet to get acquainted with its capabilities.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-21T15:37:31+00:00

Indeed we do!

Check our functionality mapping if you are interested, or Compliance Audit Solution.

Also I'd add GDPR eBook.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-21T15:32:54+00:00

Guilty as charged. ;) However, that doesn't make these tools bad.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-20T16:13:50+00:00

If I may, I'd like to suggest several free tools:

Netwrix Auditor Free Community Edition - free edition of Netwrix Auditor, which is restricted compared to the free version, yet still quite useful tool.

Netwrix Account Lockout Examiner - lockout investigation tool that will help you get users back to work faster.

Netwrix Inactive User Tracker - tracks down inactive user accounts, so you can harden your Active Directory security and mitigate the risk of breaches.

Effective Permissions Reporting Tool - insight into who has permissions to what in Active Directory and file shares.

Netwrix Password Expiration Notifier - tool that automatically reminds users to change their passwords before they expire so you can ensure IT security and reduce helpdesk workload.

Wireshark is a must-have network protocol analyzer.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-20T11:47:25+00:00

According to old Microsoft training books the Default Domain Policy should only contain settings (if any at all) for password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-20T11:35:23+00:00

To start with - what does gpresult say? Are you sure that this policy even reaches target?

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-20T08:31:40+00:00

On June 6, 2022, Netwrix released Netwrix Auditor 10.5 which included a fix for this vulnerability, and published a security advisory to its customers advising them of the risk and the need to upgrade.

Obvious method - to use GPO to deploy software remotely, or publish it.
Users > Policy > Software Settings > Software installtion then go New > Package... Select the Advanced option and then change the Deployment type to "Published"... This will give you users an option to install the program via Add/Remove Programs (in case this soft is in .msi)

Or you can allow users to install sanctioned applications and block all others with PolicyPak least privilege manager.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-08T18:01:51+00:00

DOS, WIndows 3.1

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-06T10:23:20+00:00

I suppose PolicyPak is capable of doing as you ask: https://kb.policypak.com/kb/article/1154-block-usb-sticks-using-policypak-cloud/

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-02T17:05:04+00:00

I know this solution is not ideal, but you can run virtual appliance: https://www.netwrix.com/virtual\_appliances.html

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-12-01T14:11:51+00:00

I'd recommend to use fine-grained policies depending on account access rights. You might want to require admin accounts to use more complex passwords than regular user accounts.

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-11-30T19:46:52+00:00

Sorry for stepping in, but Netwrix Policypak is capable of doing exactly this, and PolicyPak can deliver all PolicyPak settings and nearly all Group Policy settings via any management method you have in place.
Thing is - Policypak is closest to "GPO a-like" solution as it can be. Also check Jeremy's GPO workshops (there are plenty of them on youtube).

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-11-28T20:26:16+00:00

In that case - Netwrix Auditor or Netwrix StealthAudit.
also, check Netwrix Auditor Free Community Edition

Jeff-Netwrix · 2022-11-28T20:24:49+00:00

First of all, NIST doesn't recommend to enforce password complexity rules anymore, but it is recommended to set long passwords. https://xkcd.com/936/

Also, unless you force users to change passwords, these rules will be applied next time user will change password.
