What is Netwrix?

Netwrix is a data security and auditing platform that provides visibility into user behavior, data access, and IT infrastructure changes. Its Netwrix Auditor product tracks changes across Active Directory, file servers, SharePoint, Exchange, and cloud environments, helping organizations detect threats, prove compliance, and reduce the attack surface. Netwrix focuses on change auditing and data classification as core capabilities for security and compliance teams.
