What is AuditShark?
AuditShark is a network and systems monitoring tool used to track user and application activity across infrastructure. It provides complete visibility into who is accessing systems and data by capturing comprehensive audit logs from various sources like Active Directory, file systems, databases, hypervisors, cloud platforms etc.
Key features of AuditShark include:
- Centralized dashboard showing insights into infrastructure activity, with ability to drill-down to event details
- Pre-defined reports for compliance audits, user behavior analysis, privileged access monitoring etc.
- Alerts for security events like failed logins, access to sensitive files, privilege escalations
- Log collection agents for Windows, Linux, network devices to harvest various log data
- Integration with SIEM and reporting tools
- Role-based access control to limit visibility of reports
AuditShark helps security and compliance teams gain visibility into infrastructure access and changes. This allows detecting malicious activities like compromised credentials misuse, insider threats, policy violations etc. The dashboards and reports also facilitate compliance audits for standards like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX etc.
